I think this and the Sowell article are being misunderstood.
As Reagan said Republicans shouldn’t be criticizing Republicans in public. I know the litany of thing that McCain, Graham and Boehner have said, done and should have done, but Cruz would be more effective if he could work behind the scenes to get them to move closer to our positions.
This is really a discussion of tactics. Yes, sometimes you need to go public, but that should be done after the private approach has failed.
I dunno about that.. why don’t you call Cornyn’s office and ask his staff if the Honorable Cornyn is still in fetal position? (That actually would be a funny Q to ask them!)
And this is just the first race of the TEA wave.

Yes, let’s just keep quiet while progressive republicans collude with the Dems to pass amnesty. That’s just what they want. Why would you suggest that?
We have had 5 years of failed opposition to Obama. How long should we plan on waiting for the private approach to work?
Most people just don’t pay much attention to beltway politics and don’t realize what liberal Republicans are up to. It’s only when we see bold moves by the likes of Cruz and Sessions that careerist beltway GOPers are exposed for what they are. Then voters are able to make an informed decision on who they support.
Tactically, Cruz has pissed on enough sacred cowflakes to goad the symps into revealing their positions.
