Cruz is just doing political posturing for his 2016 run. There are a lot of politicians calling for repeal of Obamcare and they may very well pass a repeal through both houses of Congress, but as long as Obama is there it wont be repealed as it takes a 2/3 vote in both houses to override his veto (That means 67 Senators and 290 House Members). What we need is a Republican President in 2017 to realistically expect a “Repeal” of Obamacare.

First we make Obama veto a bill that passed both chambers with at least SOME Dem supporters. We WANT to force Dems to put their vootes on the line.

WHEN Obama vetoes it, then we send the piecemeal version, again forcing the Dems to sign off yea or nay.
