the height of the government shutdown. some call cruz s all-night stand heroic. but some called it a fool s union. i respect and admire john mccain. he is a war hero. he is a man of incredible personal courage. i will say this, when you ve got senate le publy cans saying this is a fool s errand, it sabotages the effort. i think they marched out on principle. and i wish that sfat republicans had come in like the calvary to support them. instead, they made a different decision. they made a decision not just to support the house republicans, but to come in like an air force and dive bomb them.
