Could Cruz Prompt Another Government Shutdown?

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – After weeks on the campaign trail, presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz will head back to the U.S. Capitol next week. With his return comes congressional anxiety — that Texas' junior senator could instigate yet another government shutdown.

The U.S. House and Senate are staring down a Sept. 30 deadline to fund the government. Some conservatives are threatening to let that cutoff date pass unless the federal government stops spending any taxpayer dollars on Planned Parenthood. Given his high profile role in the 2013 government shutdown, Cruz is at the center of the speculation.

He's done nothing in the last month to allay those concerns.

At a South Carolina campaign stop in early August, Cruz would not rule out a shutdown. And in Houston last week, Cruz said: "Under no circumstances should the federal government be providing $500 million of your and my taxpayer money to fund what appears to be an ongoing criminal enterprise. We're going to have a battle."

1. Did Cruz have any comment on the report submitted to Congress proving at least 42 splices in the PP video smear?

Cruz's Holy Roller Crusade over an obvious smear is going to doom him and the GOP, if Trump does not do it first.

5. I look forward to a complete expose of the vicious propaganda lie and the humiliation of all the

merchants of propaganda that have manufactured and forwarded this hoax.

That has to happen sooner or later...the evidence is clear and mounting what this vicious political charade is all about.
