    Ted Cruz Says GOP Leaders Planned To Cave On Immigration All Along
    Michael McAuliff

    "WASHINGTON -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) charged Tuesday that Republican leaders in Congress had planned all along to capitulate in their battle to defund President Barack Obama’s immigration actions.

    "Cruz’s remarks came soon after House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) decided to bring up a “clean” bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, backing down from the effort to use department funding to strip authority for Obama’s executive actions.

    "Unfortunately, leadership’s plan was never to win this fight," Cruz told reporters Tuesday.

    "Since December, the outcome has been baked in the cake. It was abundantly clear to anyone watching that leadership in both houses intended to capitulate on the fight against amnesty," Cruz said, adding, "It was a strategy doomed to failure. It’s an old adage in Washington: Never take a hostage you’re not prepared to shoot."

    "Cruz's comments referred to the decision made in December 2014 to stall funding only for DHS, which made that agency the GOP's major source of leverage in the immigration battle. The Texas Republican pointed out that he earned the "animosity and ire" of his colleagues at that time because he supported threatening to shut down government agencies.

    "There was no chance, zero, that Republicans were going to fail to fund the Department of Homeland Security because Republicans care deeply about homeland security," Cruz continued.

    "But Cruz failed to note that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had vowed to prevent all federal agencies, not just DHS, from shutting down. The shutdown strategy was doomed by the fact that the Senate has too few Republicans to overcome opposition from Democrats, who are against the method of using government funding to target White House policies. As a result, McConnell and Boehner had few practical options to achieve Cruz's objective of standing up to Obama through a shutdown."

    So why not Seven Days in May?

    Or Dr Strangelove?

    Or Mars Attacks? Obama's pretty good compared to Jack Nicholson.
