Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has managed to get the House Republicans not only mad at each other, but now they're furious with him too. And for good reason. Cruz pushed the House Republicans to pass a bill the would fund the government but defund ObamaCare. No sooner did it get to the Senate then he promptly developed an advanced case of Kerry Syndrome and threw his Republican brethren under a bus by saying he was against it.
Cruz has had a wonderful time doing commercials and raising money for himself apparently without the slightest concern for what impact his shenanigans are having on anyone else.
This ingenious strategy also has Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell twisted in knots. Frankly, the Republicans are doing such a classic imitation of what Democrats usually do that the Democrats should sue them for copyright infringement of the circular firing squad.
This ham-handed stupidity will only make what was going to be a difficult fight even more difficult. They need to get a way for Cruz to back off, and John Boehner needs to gain control of the House caucus if he is up to it.
This is really pathetic. Instead of addressing the real issues that ObamaCare is creating as it nears implementation, these idiots are focused on an irrelevant side show.
