Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) reiterated Thursday that he didn't come to Washington, D.C. to make friends.
"I'm not serving in office because I desperately needed 99 new friends in the U.S. Senate," Cruz told ABC News.
Even though Cruz is not looking to befriend his fellow lawmakers, he still wishes that they had come together during the shutdown.
"I wish Senate Republicans had united, I tried to do everything I could to urge Senate Republicans to come together and stand with House Republicans," he said.
Cruz also said Thursday that he will not rule out another shutdown in his effort to defund Obamacare.

Very proud of Gov Beshear since I heard of Kentucky's health insurance enrollment. I didn't know the South had Governors like him who care about working families and the poor.
You know all of this, many of the southern governors say the state contributions are too high. They are hurting families in need, forcing them into the federal exchanges, to the federal website. People who need the info are not getting it because of these selfish governors. Very sad. Great job Kentucky! Go Allison L Grimes.
