Why doesn't ANYBODY ask Cruz & Rubio about the 2013 government shutdown?
Why doesn't Chris Wallace or Megyn Kelly ask Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio why they were so hell-bent to shutdown the government in 2013 and allow the US to default on its debt obligations, resulting in our credit rating being downgraded for the first time in history?
Ok, so that was kind of a rhetorical question.
Why doesn't Anderson Cooper ask it during a debate or town hall? (Ok--another rhetorical question.)
But why doesn't DONALD TRUMP, or one of his slimy surrogates, ask this?
They should be constantly asking this in every forum possible.
Trump interview by Larry King 2013 (30-second clip):
"Ted Cruz doesn't talk about the government shutdown he led"
CNN, January 16, 2016
"... on his six-day Iowa tour last week, Cruz didn't mention the shutdown once. It hasn't come up in the debates. Undecided voters don't ask about it in town halls."
