Cruz admits holding up DHS funding was hostage taking and he's mad they didn't shoot the hostage

<...>

"Unfortunately, leadership’s plan was never to win this fight," Cruz told reporters Tuesday.

"Since December, the outcome has been baked in the cake. It was abundantly clear to anyone watching that leadership in both houses intended to capitulate on the fight against amnesty," Cruz said, adding, "It was a strategy doomed to failure. It’s an old adage in Washington: Never take a hostage you’re not prepared to shoot."
