Video - Ted Cruz still cruising..... live.
Live streaming video by Ustream
The freshman Cruz and other conservative Republicans were trying to delay a must-pass spending bill, but were virtually sure to lose a test vote on that legislation planned for later Wednesday.
Since Tuesday afternoon, Cruz -- with occasional remarks by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and other GOP conservatives -- have controlled the Senate floor and railed against Obamacare. By 5 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Cruz and his allies had spoken for more than 14 hours, the eighth longest since precise record-keeping began in 1900.
That surpassed March's 12-hour, 52-minute speech by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., like Cruz a tea party lawmaker and potential 2016 presidential contender. Paul was demanding information on the Obama administration's use of drones to monitor Americans.

Conservatives in Congress: We Hear You on Obamacare.HT: Heritage.
Republicans in Congress are determined to show a unified front this week, with many conservatives in the House arguing they are finally working together to defund Obamacare.
“I don’t think we’ve ever been this unified,” Representative Raúl Labrador (R-ID) said of his party at Thursday’s Conversations with Conservatives, hosted by Heritage on Capitol Hill.
The next 11 days are going to be decided by the people of the United States,” Cruz said. “The key to winning this fight is the grassroots tsunami that has built over the past weeks—the nearly 1.5 million who have signed the national petition at DontFundIt.com—growing larger and larger and larger.”
Cruz said he sees one of his primary roles as a conservative Senator as that of a “cheerleader” for the Republican majority in the House. In turn, House Republicans were quick to credit the American people for getting engaged on the issue of defunding Obamacare, and to credit the conservatives in the House for amplifying those voices.
“The involvement of the American people cannot be ignored in this, and their voices were heard,” Representative Jeff Duncan (SC) said Thursday. “The American people got engaged, and so I don’t want to discount them at all. I give them all the credit to getting us to where we are now.”
