President hoping for a way out. After the meeting, the republicans werent real interested in talking to reporters. Senator cruz republicans are crumbling. The talks are heating up. Now some reports say the government could reopen within days. Yet, die hards still cant face reality. Heres what senators ted cruz and mike lee, the guys leading the gops kamikaze mission, heres what they were telling right wingers in washington just hours earlier at the voters summit.
