Your expectation of failure is discouraging.
Ted Cruz has already won.
He is pounding the Democrats and RINO’s. He scared the House leadership more than an impending election did and they passed a defunding bill, a flawed one for sure, but they did it- even though we all know they want to fund ObamaCare. They scurried like rats.
Ted Cruz won.
Ted Cruz has the party base more excited than the GOP “leaders” have ever had them in the last 5 years.
How is that a loss?
Cruz is setting the stage. No more excuses. The RINO’s who join the Democrats are to be targeted for primaries. They are not to be trusted ever again. This is the most unpopular law in recent memory, what is so hard about this for the Republican “leaders”. The reason is they are really Democrats.
This is win-win for Cruz. And for all of us.
