Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) jumped in, saying that the idea Obamacare is a “failure” is the “product of right-wing histrionics.” He told an isolated story, which he claims proves how great the health care exchanges are going so far. “The Republican Party decided that Obamacare was going to be a failure early on, before Obamacare was even decided. It was a political choice to pull all support for anything this president wanted to do,” Whitehouse said as Cruz looked on skeptically. “Now they have to live with it, so they have to maintain the story line. But I have to tell you Senator Cruz, I don’t see it at home, I don’t believe it.” However, Cruz was ready to respond to Whitehouse’s “right-wing histrionics” comment. “I’m curious if you think it was right-wing histrionics when James Hoffa, the president of the Teamsters, said that Obamacare is destroying the health care of millions hardworking men and women in this county?” Cruz asked.
