The Obamacare situation brought to mind two people I haven't thought about in years - Dan Quayle and Murphy Brown.
Dan Quayle, Bush Sr.'s VPOTUS, railed against fictional TV character Murphy Brown's role of single, unwed mother and professional woman who has it all together and doesn't need a man. The press savaged him mercilessly for years afterward on that issue. I think it was a big reason why he decided to retire from politics.
It was years before any writer admitted that Quayle was right - that single motherhood was bad for mother, child, and society, that it doomed the vast majority to lives of poverty and disfunction.
There are people now who wish Cruz would have won the battle in the Senate and Obamacare was dead and gone. OTOH there will be hardcore Dems who will never admit Cruz was RIGHT. Wonder if it'll take years this time, too?
You're right about this. Their spin over the next 18 months is going to be real interesting.
Ted has way more weight than Dan Quayle.
He maybe a Newbie but he will never stop.
VIVA Cruz!
