So we are to believe while only 19 votes in Cruz’s Senate voted to defund Obamacare, he got the House too???

Yeah, right.

None of this would have been possible without the House and the House has voted numerous times in the past already to defund/repeal Obamacare.

Those were all symbolic votes at best, simply resolutions without teeth.

Kind of like saying, "I'd repeal Obamacare if I could, but I just don't see a way to do it."

Well, Senator Cruz has shown them the way with his strategy, don't fund it.
