Then you haven't been paying attention now, have you?!

Every step of the way on this battle Senator Cruz has laid out his plan in simple terms that anyone can understand.

He has stated continually that the end game was for the House to do their constitutional duty (Budgeting) and defund Obamacare.

It was his plan to send up individual CRs each funding a separate function of government and let the Democrats own the problem. By doing this, and not including any funding for Obamacare, it shuts up the Democrats mouths that the GOP wants to shut the government down and it effectively kills Obamacare.

The added benefit of his approach is that it has smoked out the cockroaches in the GOP who pretend to be against Obamacare with their mouths, but now have nowhere to hide, because their backs are up against the wall.

It has also rallied the base, the Tea-Party in advance of the 2014 elections.

Ultimately, however, this plan requires some manhood, some political courage from the GOP Senate and House members to be successful.

Simply because it needs repeating, since so many don't seem to get it.
