The upside? (And there is one.)
His antics gave Jon Stewart one of the funniest clips he has ever done. (Nazi Germany? Why that’s my least favorite
Germany! We are at defcon Nazi!)

A few backlash bits and pieces
for various sources:
Senator Cruz, you owe us $24 billion. . . for your effort to defund health care that had zero chance of succeeding. $24 billion for what was essentially an ego joyride.
And why does the GOP hate one of
their own?
By suggesting that Obamacare could
actually be defunded through his Senate action, he confused voters by setting
expectations that could never be met.
For years, President Obama has said a
minority faction of zealots controls the Republican Party. (And Cruz certainly
plays into that accusation.)
He turned a tactical fight into a
purity test, making the fight destine to fail.
The Affordable Care Act was falling
under its own weight. By linking the “defunding effort” to continued funding of
the government, Cruz distracted the public from Obamacare’s inherent problems.
Support for the Republican party is down to 24 percent.
He has gained popularity with the very conservative
Republican voters, further fracturing the party.
