Ted Cruz was on with Sean Hannity last night where he dropped a bomb on Congressional leaders hoping to head home for the summer recess: Not until Obamacare is repealed! Watch:
.@TedCruz to @SeanHannity: "Let's not take any recesses" until Obamacare repeal gets done.

Good advice.
President Trump agrees:
I cannot imagine that Congress would dare to leave Washington without a beautiful new HealthCare bill fully approved and ready to go!

Go to work, GOP and do what you promised.

Maybe this is good news for the GOP?
Shorter recess = fewer town halls to evade
