Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) appeared on Jay Leno’s show this weekend to discuss the government shutdown and his future plans for reining in big government. Leno asked great questions about Cruz’s strategy and whether his principles prevent compromise.
Cruz argued that he’s intent on doing the work of the people of Texas, and he has to please his constituents who want him to fight Obamacare. Leno pushed him on the shutdown, questioning whether it was the right strategy. Cruz pushed back and argued that he didn’t want the government to shut down and pinned the blame on President Obama and the Democrats refusing to negotiate or compromise.
