Cruz finished off, saying, “force the President to face those single, rifle-shot repeals and decide whether he’s going to listen to the American people or just remain an absolute partisan. And, you know, if he vetoes those bills, I think there’s a real chance we might be able to get the votes to override those vetoes.”

Unfortunately the GOP won't have the votes to override the filibuster much less override a veto.

The Democrats set the precedent that ObamaCare wasn’t subject to any filibuster when they rammed it through after Scott Brown won the seat that took away their 60th vote.

If it din’t take 60 to pass, Republicans don’t set a new precedent if they decide that it doesn’t take 60 to repeal.
