SERIOUSLY? TRUMP SAYS: 'TED CRUZ GAVE US OBAMACARE'
ABC News ^ | February 3, 2016

Posted on 02/04/2016 7:45:53 PM PST by GodGunsGuts

Donald Trump is blaming rival Ted Cruz - wrongly - for President Barack Obama's health care law.

Trump says Cruz is "the one that got Justice Roberts onto the United States Supreme Court. He pushed him, he approved him and Justice Roberts approved Obamacare twice when it should have been rejected."

Trump says, "Ted Cruz gave us Obamacare."

Cruz did indeed support John Roberts' nomination. But Roberts was confirmed in 2005, years before Cruz was elected to the Senate.

Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler says, "Trump's claim is ridiculous, especially considering that he has advocated and supported a single-payer health care system along with many other social liberal policies."

In all fairness to Cruz, Roberts is obviously compromised.
Should he have known?
I don’t know.
If he did know, then we’re talking a whole new level.

Exactly the scenario I see playing out, Rubio up the middle.

The Cheap Labor Express will not allow us to elect anyone who would stop them.

What the heck is Cruz supposed to do when all of a sudden John Roberts breaks from his conservative record and stabs conservatives in the back? He called Roberts out and says he regrets supporting him, just like the rest of us have done.

Souter was worse than Kennedy and Roberts combined.

He did not.

He endorsed McCain and Romney.

Now, we can argue whether or not that is a positive....

FreeRepublic supported Justice Roberts... until he broke with his conservative background and stabbed us all in the back! Where is the memory on this site?! Oh and by the way... Ted wasn't in the Senate when Roberts was "approved"... so, no.

If anything Trump gave us Obamacare because HE VOTED FOR OBAMA... TWICE!.. and funded the rest of the establishment in getting us to where we are now. He funded establishment candidates of both parties against TEA Party challengers.

No thank you, Mr Trump.

Exactly right. Who knew at the time that he would be a treacherous SOB?

I think Obama threatened him over the fishy circumstance of his kids' adoption.

I will assume that you have been reading left-wing media. Trump voted for McCain and Romney.

Nope. Saw it on FR. I'm learning you can't trust much on here anymore. Thanks for the correction.

Yeah. And what the heck are we supposed to do when all of a sudden Ted Cruz breaks from his “principled” conservative record and stabs Carson in the back with a lie on a caucus night?

Ok, that's a stretch, even by this guy's standards...

I bet Trump has a room full of those dolls to keep him on top of his game.
