Wow, repugican senators stunned to learn that Ted Cruz broke his promise to them

From the "Duh": Department:

Walking off the edge of the cliff does in fact have consequences
.
This is hilarious:
    Several repugican senators said Wednesday they were surprised and angered after a news report revealed that their repugican cabal colleague, Ted Cruz of Texas, made a recent fundraising appeal for a tea party coven that is trying to defeat repugican cabal incumbents it doesn't believe are wingnut enough.
.
    The senators said Cruz's efforts appeared to violate his own pledge to no longer target sitting repugican senators in favor of tea party-backed candidates in the hard-fought 2014 campaign in which repugicans believe they have a chance to win back control of the Senate. [...]
.
    "I am stunned that Cruz is involved in this fundraising effort for a group that has targeted his colleagues in the repugican caucus," Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine repugican, told CNN.
.
It's not funny because of what Cruz did, but rather it's funny because his repugican colleagues are surprised that he did it. What did they expect from this guy? Tea and crumpets?
.
And it's more than a little pathetic that this is the kind of thing that pisses them off, not something that actually has an impact on real people, like engineering a shutdown of the Federal government.
