Flip-Flopper Cruz Claims 2013 Government Shutdown Is Winning Strategy To Reclaim Senate

Senator Ted Cruz has apparently gone from trying to blame their government shutdown last year on Democrats to claiming the decision to do it is going to help his party win back the Senate in the midterms.

I'm not sure which seats Cruz thinks they're "winning" already since the election is not until November. Anyone who wants to make sure Cruz doesn't have anything to brag about later needs to get out and vote.

I almost thought I might vote for a random Repub this November.....
