Simply put, Ted Cruz — like Ronald Reagan before him — understands what it takes to make a majority.

It's not the same country it was back then and what it takes to make a majority may not be the same thing.

Plus, the comparison's a little forced. Nixon and Bush also vetoed legislation that the Democrats passed when the Democrats were in the majority in Congress. It's what presidents do when the other party controls the Congress. Maybe Cruz is the new Nixon or the new Bush.

So should we just give up or should we capitulate?

What is your strategy?
