From Talking Points Memo:
House GOP aides exchanged angry emails and even cursed at "amateur" Cruz in the cloakroom Wednesday, according to a National Review Online report published Thursday.
“Cruz keeps raising conservatives’ hopes, and then, when we give him
what he wants, he doesn’t have a plan to follow through,” one aide said,
according to NRO. “Nancy Pelosi is more well-liked around here," said another.
In a joint statement Wednesday with Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Marco
Rubio (R-FL), Cruz said that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV)
"likely" has the votes to strip language defunding Obamacare from any
bill that makes its way over from the House.
"This is outrageous," a senior House GOP aide told TPM on Wednesday.
"They demand a fight for two months, supposedly on behalf of the
grassroots and constituents and then within hours of getting the fight,
they slink away, abandon those same people and do nothing."
