Democrats Must Stop Ted Cruz's Hollywood Ending | Matt Taibbi | Rolling Stone - Here's the problem with this entire situation. Every minute that Cruz presses forward sinks the Republicans into a deeper political hole, and the Democrats know this.

Moreover, the shutdown debate has caused a massive schism within the Republican ranks, one symbolized by the open verbal combat that reportedly broke out between Cruz and other, less lunatic GOP Senators last week when the "reality caucus" discovered that Cruz had no exit strategy for this blow-it-all-to-hell stunt he's pulling. That schism is also setting the party up for almost certain failure in the 2016 presidential race.
