"Cruz doesn't think his actions have taken a negative toll on his party's image." [View all]

You betcha. I don't think the TP/Republicans can be viewed with more disgust than they already are.

If Cruz doesn't prove me wrong, it won't be for lack of trying.

Cruz: Use debt ceiling debate for leverage

"..."The president and certainly Harry Reid and Senate Democrats have not been shy and using all sorts of inflammatory attacks," Cruz said about receiving criticism from Democrats and some within his own party.

"The fact that you're seeing those attacks, I think, is indicative of the fact that we're winning the argument. Obamacare isn't working."

According to a CBS News poll released this week, 72% of Americans disapprove of the shutdown, and more Americans blame congressional Republicans than blame Obama.

Despite this, Cruz doesn't think his actions have taken a negative toll on his party's image."
