Ted Cruz, Dale Carnegie flunk-out.
The
hapless junior senator from Utah, Mike Lee, isn't all alone in his quest to shut down government to defund Obamcare, even though he's been dumped on by just about every Republican who matters. He's got an ally in the guy who has become
the most hated man in the Senate in record time.
Sen. Ted Cruz believes Republicans can defund “Obamacare” if they stand together, but he said “scared” Republicans are standing in the way.
“What I can tell you is there are a lot of Republicans in Washington who are scared. They’re scared of being beaten up politically,” Cruz (R-Texas) told Glenn Beck on TheBlaze radio show Monday. [...]
“I’ve been astonished by how many Republicans in Washington want a fig leaf … but they don’t actually want to succeed,” Cruz told Beck.
That's the way to win friends and influence people within your party, call them all cowards. And don't give up any hostages, ever.
