Rep. Pete King: President Obama Should Donate To Ted Cruz

[cal04]

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said Friday that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has done so much to unintentionally boost Obamacare's popularity with his crusade to defund it that President Obama should thank Cruz with a campaign donation.

"I think President Obama should send a campaign contribution to Ted Cruz," King said to anchor Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "The Situation Room." "He has done more to boost Obamacare than anyone."

King, who has blamed his own party for the shutdown, also defended his record as a conservative after a viewer asked when King would be switching parties.

"I am a lifetime Republican," he said. "I have a conservative rating of 75 percent. There's nothing Republican about shutting down the government when you don't get what you want."

1. Maybe Cruz

is a far-left sleeper play.

2. They're really firing at each other...

Watching the GOP fire on themselves is the most fun I've had in weeks.

What's funny is that the Republicans used to be renowned for their messaging discipline and (at least outward) unity.

3. After putting up with so much republican bullshit, it's incredibly satisfying to watch them implode.
