Cruz is such a card..... He knows the tactic well, since the Rs executed it under Obama. After a town hall meeting at an air conditioner manufacturing plant in Waller County, Texas, Cruz told reporters that “you know, I very much hope we don’t have a shutdown. I will say I’m concerned. I think [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer and the Democrats want a shutdown.” He added: “You know, one of the dynamics we’ve got is the Democratic radical left is demanding of Senate Democrats that they oppose everything, that they engage in across-the-board obstruction. And so I do have some concern that to appease the radical left, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats may do everything they can to try to provoke a shutdown.”
