Cruz Left with Few Friends

Dallas Morning News:
“It might be time for Ted Cruz to get a dog. Because as the saying
goes, if you want a friend in Washington, that’s what you do. And by the
time Cruz’s crusade to defund Obamacare finally crashed to a halt
Wednesday, the Texas senator had precious few friends left. The
government shutdown alienated colleagues in both parties. It generated
fresh animosity toward the tea party and a flurry of recriminations
toward Cruz. Voter support for the Republican Party plunged. And the
health care law survived unscathed.”
