Grab sound bite number eight very quickly, Fox News Channel, Greta Van Susteren.  They\u2019re talking about the Democrats in the Senate up for reelection who want to delay the individual mandate for a year, which was what Cruz was asking for.  It\u2019s exactly what he was asking for and he was a hostage taker, ransom demander, and all that.  And Greta Van Susteren said, &#8220;What about this, Senator?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_82828\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CruzGreta102413.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>CRUZ:  It\u2019s ironic, all the people that just a few weeks ago were saying there\u2019s no way you can win this fight, there\u2019s no way we can do anything to stop Obamacare, and they also said there\u2019s no way any D\u2019s are gonna flip.  We\u2019re starting to see Democrats flip as this thing &#8212; it\u2019s a train wreck.  It\u2019s not working.  And in any political fight, when the truth is on your side, you\u2019re in a good situation, and here the truth is this thing isn\u2019t working.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, he\u2019s got to feel great.  I mean, everything the Republican Party establishment told him couldn\u2019t happen has happened.  They told him we couldn\u2019t win. They told him that no Democrats are ever gonna vote for what you want.  And now, what is it, 12, 14, 20 Democrats up for reelection, are all demanding a delay of a year in the individual mandate.  And McCain and these guys (imitating McCain), &#8220;I\u2019m so upset. There\u2019s no way of winning, it\u2019s impossible!&#8221;  Congratulations again, Senator Cruz.  I think this has just been a beautiful thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Ted Cruz. Grab sound bite number eight very quickly, Fox News Channel, Greta Van Susteren.
