Ted Cruz's anti-Obamacare crusade continues with few allies

UPDATED 13 MINUTES AGO

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 lawsuit’s approach.

The GOP also largely ignored Cruz’s 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 nation’s health care system, GOP leaders desperately want to move on from an issue that’s gone from political boon to an albatross.

When he'a exposed for his corrupt criminal acts. He'll be one of them exposed. No one lies that much that isn't corrupt.
