This poll. it could not be clearer that the republican party strategy had no strategy for getting out of this mess. >> andrea, this the strategy of ted cruz. going back to mid september i said ted cruz was a fraud, there was a dead-end to this policy and made no sense to follow it. john boehner also told us in early september it would be the wrong thing to do to shut down the government in an attempt to defund obama care. unfortunately we have three or four republicans in the house, cruz republi...
