Like Cornyn, these fools are trying to sound as conservative as possible as they stab conservatives in the back
I don’t want the fedgov to solve my problems.
I want it to stop causing them, though.
For some? Yes. But there are plenty of others who really want Obamacare defunded but don’t believe it can be done by Cruz’s method. As I understand it, Cruz cannot succeed by voting against cloture. I think a better strategy if for the House to start passing funding bills for separate pieces of government. Pass something to fund the DoD, for example, that does not include funding for Obamacare. Will the Democrats simply refuse to pass anything at all unless they add Obamacare back into it? If so, popular opinion isn’t going to support that.
