Cruz is the leader of a secret cabal of leftists that are seeking control of the conservative movement. their aim is to force the party to take on suicidal missions to destroy the movement from within. now, thats not that different from a number of off the record quotes that you got today in a really good piece you wrote for the "national review" about cruzs critics. when that piece was posted, the very influential radio show host, mark levine, tweeted that, "why is nro trashing cruz?" did you t...

Of prevailing. >> so, matt, i have a question for you. i want to have an honest discussion about this. we both know obama cares not going to be defunded. and whats going to happen is this bills going to go over to the senate, harry reid is going to strip the obama care provision out of the cr and theyre going to send us a bill back to the house. and even your poster child, senator cruz, admitted that theres nothing he can do about it. that its up to the house. theres nothing the senate can do to...

>> and if we were to put obama care into the senate, we were risking shutting down the government. that is not our goal. >> in march, house speaker john boehner was making it clear shutting down the government to de-fund the presidents health care law was not on his agenda. >> do you want to risk the full faith and credit of the united states government over obama care? that is a very tough argument to make. >> six months later, the speaker has reversed course. >> this week, the house will pass ...
