“Cruz is trying to start a wave of Salem witch trials in the G.O.P. on the shutdown and Obamacare, and that fear is impacting some people’s calculations on 2016,” said the Republican strategist Mike Murphy.

Actually....its unfair to blame Dirty Harry for this particular fiasco...Congress had passed a law to make sure this did not happen but the Obama DOJ/Pentagon interpreted the law so as to frustrate the expressed intent of the Congress...This one is on the Clown POTUS. Proving once again what a petty and small man he is.....

There may be plenty of blame to go around for the nine-day government shutdown, but the Republican brand is taking the harder hit in public opinion. Just 28 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of the Republican Party, down 10 percentage points from last month, according to a Gallup poll. The polling firm called it a "record low," noting that "this is the lowest favorable rating measured for either party since Gallup began asking this question in 1992." While the Democratic Party isn’t popular either, it fared better, with 43 percent of Americans approving of the party -- down a comparatively small 4 points from September.
