Sen. Ted Cruz said today that President Obama will "no doubt threaten a shutdown" with his upcoming executive action on immigration.

"[T]hat seems to be the one card he repeatedly plays — but Congress can authorize funding for agencies of government one at a time," Cruz (R-Texas) wrote in an op-ed published (http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/11/president-obama-is-not-a-monarch-113028.html?ml=tl_1#.VGzpMvnF_Tp)in Politico Magazine.

"If the President is unwilling to accepting [sic] funding for, say, the Department of Homeland Security without his being able to unilaterally defy the law, he alone will be responsible for the consequences."

He needs to be smarter with his rhetoric if Goldman Sachs wants him to run for President.

Why does anyone care what Cruz spouts off? Obama and team can say anything they want to the stupid voters, why can't Cruz?

It was all political theatre. This is the reality of our increasing polarization. Ted Cruz has to say and do whatever it takes to keep getting elected, and he doesn't serve a battleground, which means he can exclusively appeal to Republican conservatives. When he runs for President, watch him try to balance his radical-sounding Senate career with a more moderate tone.

It happens the same on the other side, too. The parties only try to sound moderate and in the middle in tough elections, when they need more than just their base to come vote for them.

like I said earlier...sometimes its hard to tell if it is satire...they all get carried away trying to appear the most lib/con or whatever. I wonder if they are ever embarrassed to listen to themselves...nah...they are politicians

Cruz is absolutely smart. You don't get where he is in life by being dumb. All of them up there are intelligent, and highly so. It's all political theatre.
