Sen. Ted Cruz says it will be “extreme” Democrats who rejected a single “penny” for border security who are to blame if the federal government shuts down.
The Texas Republican told reporters on Friday that a “Schumer shutdown” will occur if the New York senator and his allies reject any compromise on border security funding.
“The president was unequivocal this morning,” Mr. Cruz told reporters. “If Chuck Schumer and the Democrats adopt an extreme line, that they’re not willing to give a penny for border security, then Schumer will go forward and shut the government down. That would be an unfortunate thing.”

Sen. Cruz on the Schumer Shutdown - December 21, 2018
Every response to every question Republicans get MUST contain the phrase ‘Border Security’ - good job Ted
"The govt faces a shutdown over Trump’s call for $5 billion for a wall. Meanwhile the $8.6 billion we’ve spent on 'humanitarian assistance' in Syria has never been challenged." https://t.co/bJ9BXLNw9J— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) December 21, 2018
Yeah, and keep rocking the beard. Good job, Ted.
Lines are drawn. Finally.
Give ‘em hell, Ted.
All of these people are so incredibly vain and conceited. Don’t they realize it shows?

Do you think they care. /r
Cruz also appeared on the Joe Pags talk show while Levin at the same time was outlining how a 51 vote Senate vote could get the funding passed on his.
What does bother me is there will never be any recall or mention when previous government shut downs comparison impacts get reviewed over the impact they had by the msm. Of this;
Not dare refer to the most costly and disgraceful results from a “shutdown” that happened during Nixon’s presidency. Caused by the democrats refusal to stand by the Vietnamese effort to remain independent by refusing them air support and supplemental funding of arm supplies which would have prevented that loss and that humiliating disgraceful evacuation of our Saigon embassy.
Which quickly then resulted in a multitude of Vietnamese being slaughtered and the sacrifices of thousands of our armed forces paying with their lives assisting them in their fight for freedom disgraced.
While there might be a parallel drawn to the recent decision to pull our troops out of the nation building quagmire known as Syria. Those media resources doing so will be the same ones who supported the ignominious Vietnamese abandonment using the same hue and cry of no nation building (Which we were not doing. We were asked to help. Although JFK expanded it into that by the removal of President Diem.
Cruz is smart to call it a Schumer shutdown.
And the beard looks good on him.
Are you calling Ted Cruz vain because he has a beard?
#SchumerShutdown
No doubt....This is Schumer’s legacy.
I love watching our President put the Dems in their place even though the Fake News will not report it that way.
or “National Security”...
The problem is that Trump claimed the shutdown in front of cameras. The attempt to apply blame where it belongs won't succeed because there's video.
