Ted Cruz Says He Doesn’t Need New Friends

by Austin Petersen

Ted Cruz Don’t Care! Ted Cruz don’t give a ….!

Bruised from the bitter budget battle. Texas Senator Ted Cruz appeared on an ABC interview to explain why he doesn’t care if the 99 other senators like him or not.

Although he’s borne the blame for the government shutdown over Obamacare, the dramatic failure of Healthcare.gov may change people’s attitudes further down the line.

“I will say that the reason this deal, the lousy deal was reached last night, is because, unfortunately, Senate Republicans made the choice not to support House Republicans,” Cruz said. “I wish Senate Republicans had united, I tried to do everything I could to urge Senate Republicans to come together and stand with House Republicans.”
