Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) acknowledged on Saturday that Senate Republicans face an uphill battle to pass an ObamaCare repeal bill, warning that a failure to do so would be “catastrophic.”
“For seven years the Republicans have been promising, ‘If only you elect us, we’ll repeal ObamaCare,’ ” Cruz told conservative radio host Larry Kudlow.
“I think the consequences of failure would be catastrophic. But it’s going to take senators across the Republican conference being willing to sit down in good faith.”
The GOP’s narrow majority in the Senate, Cruz said, would make coming to an agreement on healthcare reform a “difficult task.” He noted that a slew of obstacles ranging from the ideological to the geographical could pose challenges.

“In the Senate we have a difficult task ahead of us,” Cruz said. “We have a very narrow majority. We have just 52 Republicans — hold at least 50 of those 52 Republicans to pass the bill.”

I don’t know. He told us that if he was president, they were going to repeal every word of Obamacare. He must have had some kind of plan.
