Ted Cruz, House Republicans Meet in Secret at Tortilla Coast

Sen. Ted Cruz met with roughly 15 to 20 House Republicans for around two hours late Monday night at the Capitol Hill watering hole Tortilla Coast.

The group appeared to be talking strategy about how they should respond to a tentative Senate deal to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling without addressing Obamacare in a substantive way, according to sources who witnessed the gathering. The Texas Republican senator and many of the House Republicans in attendance had insisted on including amendments aimed at dismantling Obamacare in the continuing resolution that was intended to avert the current shutdown.

Seems Cruz is planning to add demands onto any deal by going through the house of representatives?.........

This is what we get for appeasing and compromising and allowing the center to drift so far right all these years.

This is bad, really bad. And there's nothing we can do about it.
