Cruz is talking about forcing reconciliation to REPEAL Obamacare knowing the dictator will veto it. He welcomes the veto.

McConnell is afraid of the veto.

Go Cruz.

The way to get rid of ObamaCare is to make it optional. It would force enough dems to go along and thus be able to override a veto.

Yup. Pass the repeal. Force a veto. Attempt a veto override and get all the Dems on record opposing it.

THEN start poison-pilling ObamaCare by inserting damaging clauses into various bills. The question is, would it be better for the poison pills to be designed to collapse the thing as quickly as possible, or to increase the pain its causing to teach the American Public a lesson about getting the government they vote for?

For instance, insert a clause into the HHS approps bill that strips the executive branch of their ability to unilaterally modify the law. Make it go into force as designed. Cause pain. Leverage that pain to build political pressure to gut the thing like a fish.

After what happened to the Democrats in the Senate tonight, he might not need to use reconciliation. They may be able to get enough vulnerable Democrats to hit 60. After all they have no loyalty left for Obama. He has done nothing but decimate the Democrat Party!

I like how he welcomes the veto on repealing Obama care and then laid out a plan to work around the veto's.
The guy craves the fight and that is why I like the guy.
