A President that is willing to shut down the government in order to preserve the nation, or
And what preserving did he do? Your explanation is going to be rich. I can already tell. Unless you say the shutdown accomplished nothing, then you are wrong. I might have to wait until tomorrow. You may be writing in your diary about how great Cruz is......so I can be patient.
Reagan shut down the Government. Several times.
The fact of the matter is that Cruz stood on Principle. And Cruz did not shut down the Government.
Obama was THE ONE who actually shut down the Government. The GOP allowed Obama to blame them and then the GOPe pointed their fingers at Cruz.
If the GOP hadn’t caved, then maybe the shutdown might have accomplished something. But the GOPe blinked and Obama took full advantage of their cowardice.
Now we have Ryan giving Obama everything he wanted on a Silver platter with no amendments or nothing.
The GOPe surrendered the power of the purse to Obama. Cruz didn’t. Any failure of the shutdown to accomplish anything can be laid at the feet of the cowardly GOPe.
