@eliasisquith Why WOULDN'T Cruz try to shut down the government again? It worked out brilliantly for him, and the GOP writ large, last time.

@mtracey@eliasisquith Worked brilliantly for Cruz, but not for GOP. ACA website woes distracted from widespread disenchantment w/ shutdown.1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

@R_Ephemeral That poll had no impact on anything of significance. If it was such a disaster, GOP would have gotten worse results last week.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
