And adding to that ...Cruz and Lee are trying hard to show the republicans how to fight...they’ve long forgotten this and are more concerned with getting along with their buddies. At the same time Cruz and Lee are appealing to the people to keep the pressure on the republicans to make them stand and fight.
The republicans are struggling with their own egos, re-elections, and offending or loosing entirely the friendships they’ve had in Washington. “THEY are the problem!!! They no longer represent the people, rather their own personal agendas.
So Cruz and Lee asks us to keep the pressure on them while at the same time getting Boehner not to fold as he always does.
It really is messy....but that’s exactly how it’s suppose to be...the founders designed our gov. knowing well whatever would come would always reguire a fight...it’s suppose to!
You’re right. The Republicans and Demonrats are not a team nor should they be. But public opinion (low-info voters)often expresses the notion that they should work together as if they were a team. Gridlock is always preferable to liberal schemes.
