RCP | JONATHAN KARL, ABC NEWS: But I just spoke to Ted Cruz and he was the guy
who said, hey, let's not agree to a funding resolution unless ObamaCare
is defunded. That was the strategy that really kicked it off and he
told me that he will now do anything he can to stop ObamaCare and he
does not rule out pushing to the brink once again.
What would your message be to Ted Cruz?
JEB BUSH: Well, frankly, I think the best way to repeal ObamaCare is to have an alternative. We never hear the alternative. We could do this in a much lower cost with improved quality based on our principles, free market principles, and two, show how ObamaCare, flawed to its core, doesn't work.
So have a little bit of self-restraint. It might actually be a politically better approach to see the massive dysfunction. But we don't even hear about that because we've stepped on that message. And I think Republicans need to just take a step back and allow -- show a little self-restraint and let this happen a little more organically.
