WASHINGTON - Ted Cruz is still on a crusade to wipe out Obamacare, but the effort is getting lonelier and lonelier.
Republican leaders are now publicly rooting against a Texas-led lawsuit that could eradicate the law in its entirety. Cruz personally laid the groundwork last year for the lawsuits approach.
The GOP also largely ignored Cruzs pleas to make major changes to the law using only Republican votes in these final days when the party controls all of Congress. Democrats will run the House as of Jan. 3.
Fresh off an election where Republicans lost control of the House in large part due to attacks on their plans to overhaul the nations health care system, GOP leaders desperately want to move on from an issue thats gone from political boon to an albatross.
