Grover Norquist accused Ted Cruz of pushing House Republicans "into traffic and wandered away".
But is that really what happened?
It is always better to blame one person than to blame a group or a Party but the truth of the matter is that these House Republicans "followed" Cruz into traffic and looked around and he wasn't there? Isn't that closer to the truth?

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) had choice words for fellow House Republicans who are willing to see the government shut down over their opposition to Obamacare: "Lemmings with suicide vests," he called them.
"They have to be more than just a lemming. Because jumping to your death is not enough," he said.
"You have this group saying somehow if youre not with them, youre with Obamcare. If youre not with their plan -- exactly what they want to do, youre with Obamcare. Its getting a little old," he said.
