BYRON YORK: Did Ted Cruz really bungle the lame-duck session for Republicans?

There are four problems with the anti-Cruz scenario. The first is that on Dec. 9, days before Cruz threw a wrench in the works, Reid signaled his intention to confirm all of Obama’s remaining nominees, no matter how long it took. . . . The bottom line is that President Obama and Democrats got the confirmations they wanted — just as they planned and intended, regardless of anything Ted Cruz did. As he made clear before it all began, Harry Reid was going to make full use of his last chance to confirm his party’s nominees. It would have made no sense for him to do otherwise.

Yes, but both Democrats and establishment GOP folks are happy to band together to attack Cruz. Which says something. . . .
