Cruz Says Establishment Won Again

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) “came up empty-handed Wednesday in his battle to gut the Affordable Care Act, saying that he wouldn’t stand in the way of a Senate budget deal that includes none of the major changes to the health-care law that conservatives were seeking,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Politico notes Cruz “was resolute and firm, declining to admit defeat and instead chastising the ‘Washington establishment’ for waving the white flag on the health care law.”

Meanwhile, Think Progress points out Cruz pointed out he has more than 2 million names on his email list.
