Senator (of eight months) Ted Cruz is a brilliant political strategist who has the perfect plan to get what he wants, the defunding of ObamaCare. Where his real genius comes into play is that it has been the same plan, all along. Does no one realize how easy this is? Here’s how it works:
1) The House passes a continuing resolution that defunds Obamacare.2) The Senate passes a continuing resolution that defunds Obamacare.3) President Obama signs into law a continuing resolution that defunds Obamacare.The Republicans who don’t think this will work — the GOP leadership, most congressional GOPers, Grover Norquist, The Wall Street Journal editorial board, Charles Krauthammer, etc. — simply don’t understand how the federal government works, like Ted Cruz does.Didn’t they ever take a college class on government or the constitution or anything? Ted Cruz took a lot of college courses, at Harvard, and Princeton. (His safety school was the original Plato’s Academy, probably.)He knows that when the House passes a bill, and then the Senate passes a bill, and then the president signs it, it becomes law. The sissypants communist RINO caucus must know this. What is their problem with this strategy? They must love Obamacare, Ted Cruz might surmise, with his intellect.The surrenderistas in the House leadership have begun to see the light, finally, and will now move a House bill that includes the defunding of Obamacare in a continuing resolution. Was that so hard? Once it gets out of the House, Ted Cruz will use his masterful college debating skills to persuade the Senate to pass it 100-0, the president will hear the message, and Obamacare will be no more.
it's finally happened he talked so much with untruths his mind has seen the truth and created a similar philosophy to merit his derangement. well by 2016 if they don't kick him to the curb first he'll be certified and rubber roomed, screaming "i could have been a contender"
Nevertheless, there are some simpletons out there who don't really "get" this yet. Don't criticize them; some people just, you know, take a little more time to understand basic concepts that Ted Cruz intuitively grasps? So let's address some of their common delusions here, in the hope that something registers in their mortal brains.
"You've got to ask for things the other team can sign off on — not because we're being terribly bipartisan, but because the other team has the Senate and the White House," Norquist told Business Insider in an interview.
The ultimate goal doesn't differ: a full repeal of Obamacare. But the messaging, Norquist said, has led to confusion.
"It's not where the conservative movement needs to be, because we miscommunicate to voters that somebody is not a good conservative because they have a different vision of how to get to the same place."
don't worry your confusion will dissipate with a shake of the head but don't tell them they'll be ok one day after all they're republicans, well maybe not one day.
looks like the golden boy turns green after a few months hey didn't that happen to the other golden boy Paul Ryan, the need to pick progressives to run for their party might win, something.
