Cruz disses Boehner & McConnell


All eyes on Sen. Ted Cruz. Politico:

“With the House DHS bill stalled in the Senate, Boehner has publicly called on Cruz — and [Sen. Jeff] Sessions — to lead the charge in their chamber … But Cruz told reporters Tuesday that Boehner and McConnell had ‘given away virtually all our leverage by funding almost the entirety of the federal government’ in last December’s funding package. Cruz also called on McConnell to prevent the confirmation of all presidential nominations who are not vital to national security interests — until Obama relents on immigration.”
