done. so now he s on the floor trying to kill the house republican bill. which is what? that defunds obamacare. you know, mcconnell has to be careful. he is being careful. he has to be careful, because kentucky does do this, i mean, they go against the establishment. they go against incumbents. you remember the ads against dee huddleston, they re the blood hounds looking for him. which some are directly saying, boy, mitch mcconnell has been a withdrawn figure lately because of the tea party primary has been unable take a lot of positions he otherwise would have been ablth take on leadership roles. and work with joe bodyen. his tea party opponent came out yesterday standing with cruz. stand with ted, baby. that s not mitch mcconnell s greater danger, the greater danger is the fall does his primary pundit have a shot? did you see
only vote for a measure that averts a government shutdown if it defunds obama care. defund obama care! reporter: a problem for the tea party texan, senate republican leaders have all but abandoned cruz s failing quest. i just don t happen to think filibustering a bill that defunds obama care is the best route to defunding obama care. all it does is shut down the government and keep obama care funded and none of us want that. reporter: now senator ted cruz has the procedural ability to push this debate over this temporary spending bill along with obama care well into the week. i talked to a top house republican aide earlier this morning who said their expectation is they won t get this legislation back until perhaps sunday evening. the aid went on to say this will be very close and that people in washington should not assume that they will simply just pass whatever the senate sends their way so while ted cruz may say he

continue funding the government with obamacare intact is expected to pass the senate, has a good chance of passing the senate later today. the show really gets going once again as it moves over to the house, house speaker john boehner will come under a lot of pressure from conservatives to pass a bill that, again, defunds obamacare. no insight, no guidance yet from that side of the hill as to whether or not that is going to happen and with five days to go until a potential government shutdown, the stakes are starting to move ever higher, kate. absolutely right. you have the looming government shutdown, you also have a deadline or the beginning of when those health care exchanges kick off and you have the president with bill and hillary clinton trying to sell this health care law. what s he going to do next? reporter: he s expected to be on a conference call with mayors and other local officials around the country later today. he is going to be in prince george s county, maryland, t
