Sen. Ted Cruz

Cruz told "Fox & Friends" that Senate Republicans are worried about their reelection chances in 2018 if they don’t vote for the bill, adding that “if they're not, they should be.”
“You can't have your central promise for seven years be we'll repeal ObamaCare, and then you show up and vote not even to take up the bill to consider repealing ObamaCare,” he said.
"I've said many times, if we fail to get this done, I think, collectively, Republicans will look like fools.”
The Senate is lined up for a vote on healthcare early next week, even though none of the plans on the the table currently has enough GOP support to pass.
Further complicating factors is Sen. John McCain
