Ted Cruz: D.C. Republicans 'scared'

Sen. Ted Cruz believes Republicans can defund “Obamacare” if they stand together, but he said “scared” Republicans are standing in the way.
“What I can tell you is there are a lot of Republicans in Washington who are scared. They’re scared of being beaten up politically,” Cruz (R-Texas) told Glenn Beck on TheBlaze radio show Monday.
Cruz said there are too many members of the GOP that want to vote against Obamacare symbolically, but don’t actually want to follow through.
“I’ve been astonished by how many Republicans in Washington want a fig leaf … but they don’t actually want to succeed,” Cruz told Beck.
Saying there are 63 days left to gut President Barack Obama’s signature health care law, Cruz said he hoped his Republican colleagues would join him and others like Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in not funding a continuing resolution that gives “one cent” to the president’s health care program.
