GOP 2016 contenders Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96%. are joining forces in a confrontational intervention that intends to defund Planned Parenthood. As Breitbart TV previously reported, Trump announced he would support a government shutdown to defund Planned Parenthood following the release of a series of investigative videos allegedly showing the organization’s top medical personnel engaged in the sale of aborted baby body parts.
“And I was also in support — if the Republicans stuck together, you could have done it with Obamacare also,” Trump said on Monday’s Hugh Hewitt Show. “But the Republicans decided not to stick together.”
As Politico also reported, Cruz attempted the same strategy in 2013 in an effort to defund Obamacare, which resulted in a 16-day shutdown of the federal government, but still left President Obama’s signature healthcare reform very much alive.
Trump blamed Cruz’s Republican colleagues for leaving him in the lurch.
"And they left a few people out there Like Sen. Ted Cruz (R) TEX< " he continued. "You know they left a lot of the people that went in and really wanted to do the job. And you know what, if they would have stuck together, they would have won that battle"

You and me, both. That drives me nuts. The worst part is, it's like a contagious disease that's spreading across the internet.
When I was a kid in the sixties, we'd laugh when we saw a sign with a misplaced apostrophe. Even children recognized basic illiteracy in those days.
No snark intended....he does need a good tailor. The suit and tie look really bad on him. It’s an image business he’s in.
“The VP does not have any real power.”
Just because no one has made effective use of the role, doesn’t mean someone can’t. You might have noticed in recent weeks that the acting President of the Senate has a good deal of parliamentary power. In the right hands, it could be quite useful. The turtle might find it very uncomfortable if the President of the Senate took a keen interest in him.
I like Carly. She is good at handling the media. Thanks to media, most people don’t even k’m ow there is a republican woman running.
LOL
Me too! I wear her tee shirt now here in TX.
Shutdown of federal government over OBAMACARE and explicit mention of Ted Cruz by Donald Trump is more focused than just defunding PP.
I am very old, 81, and wonder if students these days are taught ANY grammar. I remember those hot days in school (no one had air conditioning), studying/writing sentences that had to be complete. Also remember English tests and those sentences written had to have proper subject, proper verb, proper adverb, prepositions, adjectives, etc.. Diagramming sentences was done over and over, year after year.
I was a teacher in elementary school, then a school counselor/psychological examiner and through all those years students still learned grammar. I was the coordinator and counselor/psychological examiner after that in a Junior college and they still learned grammar there. These years with direct contact with schools ended in 1989.
After 1989, I don't know what schools taught but I think students after that time, started a downward grammar slide.
Maybe someone on this thread has kids in school and know if grammar is still taught.
True. But today’s students know how to put a condom on a cucumber. Much more important than knowing how to communicate orally and in writing./S
Yes, those people's are like octopus's. You's can't help but notice all the arm's.
That is one awesome pair of dudes.
