Ted Cruz at the Family Leadership Summit

know I'm a lot better when I'm not on stage I'm going to ask you a question by applause how did he supported the government shut down two

years ago nndb

nndb nndb they supported it but

they're not convinced it was successful what did you learn from it you're one of the leaders what did you learn from it and

what should the president do if they're having trouble cooperating with well you know the answer to that first question not

in Washington DC would be markedly different who are fed up with politicians who promise something on the campaign trail and
