It's an interview with Chelsea Clinton, in which she says,
"And my mom has a stronger and deeper record on fighting for reproductive rights, fighting for equal rights, fighting for early childhood education, fighting for the right of every child ... she helped create the children's health insurance program."
Yes, children... every child that they don't murder.
Did you hear Cruz’s speech tonight? Optimistic and Reaganesque.
I loved his dig at the Democrats: “The Democrats are in a dead heat between a candidate who admits he’s a socialist and one who tries to hide it.”
I’m glad Cruz won it. I pray for his safety.
