Republican Senators met with Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) at a personal lunch on Wednesday to demand he produce an strategy for getting the GOP out of the political impasse he’d engineered, and then fervently denounced him when he was once unable to supply one.
“It was once very evident to everyone in the room that Cruz doesn’t have a technique—he never had a strategy, and will never solution a query about what the top-recreation used to be,” one senator told Politico. “I just want the thirty-5 Home individuals that have bought the snake oil that was bought may witness what used to be witnessed nowadays at lunch.”
“He saved trying to trade the topic as a result of he never might solution the question,” the senator stated. “It’s beautiful evident it’s never been about a technique—it’s been about him. That’s unlucky. I believe he’s completed our us of a an immense disservice. I believe he’s finished Republicans a major disservice.”

Politico said that the assembly acquired extremely disturbing when Cruz refused to repudiate assaults made in opposition to the senators with the aid of the Cruz-affiliated staff Senate Conservatives Fund. Asked “point blank,” Cruz said, “I will not.”
Matt Hoskins, Govt Director of the SCF, scoffed at this. “If these senators had pledged to oppose funding for Obamacare, we wouldn’t have had to run ads against them. They just have themselves accountable.”
For his part, Cruz pushed aside the senators’ criticism. “Apparently there is nothing the media likes to duvet more than disagreements amongst Republicans, and it sounds as if some senators are content material to fuel those stories with anonymous costs,” Cruz stated. “Regardless, my focal point—and, I’d hope, the focal point of the remainder of the conference—is on stopping Harry Reid’s shutdown, ensuring that critical government priorities are funded, and preventing the giant harms that Obamacare is inflicting on millions of Americans.”
