(WASHINGTON) -- It appeared Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, expected something entirely different from Facebook when he asked whether his Facebook followers were better off with Obamacare than they were four years ago, suggesting they “Comment with YES or NO!”
Post by Senator Ted Cruz.
Comment they did.
By late Wednesday afternoon, the status update had more than 55,000 replies.
“I and a few million other people are a lot better off,” said one user. “I hope you are enjoying your Cadillac plan given to you by your wife’s employer, Goldman Sachs.”
“YES, best law ever! And way overdue!” read another one.
And the comment generating the most “likes”?
“Impeach Ted Cruz! He caused the shutdown that hurt this country badly!”
It took a good deal of scrolling to reach the first comment with a negative review of the health care law, which Cruz has become notorious for combating since joining the Senate in 2013.
“No. I couldn’t afford healthcare before and I still can’t and now will also have to pay a fine,” the commenter said. “Wish I could fine the government for making my life hell everyday.”
Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told Politico that the comments were “clearly a manufactured, concerted effort from people on the left making comments days after the original post was put up.”
Still, it didn’t appear the vast majority of commenters would be getting friend requests from Cruz anytime soon.

When you’re taking flak you know you’re over the target.
Lying morons.
Just because you whine the loudest doesn’t mean you’re right (or not guilty)...
the left & the rinoes are scared as sh*tless of Ted, as they are of Sarah,
Soros will probably get ill soon and die. Thats what usually happens to evil dictators who don’t believe in God and are clueless as to why it happens to them. What will The One do without his direction?
Local news broadcasts often include an “as seen on youtube” segment (whether it is some sort of assault, accident, or just American Funniest Home video) and the “alternative weeklies” google-journal their news items (paged click lists of TOP TEN SONGS ABOUT or TOP TEN MOMENTS WHEN, sometimes with embedded youtube video).
And then there are the news items on tv that say “log into our website for more details”. NO. If I have to go to the website, I’ll be sure to go somewhere else (like the feed where you got the clip you hosted).
bkmk
Always remember that their side pays their activists.
Office seekers on our side need to point this out and often.
BTTT
It shows who have jobs and who have time to sit around posting on FB.
I want see Ted Cruz really take time out troll the Libs pages LOL! that be great
This is news because they are worried. And it so happens that I am a fb supporter of all the Ted Cruz pages.
I keep waiting...tapping foot impatiently. How old is he now?
83 years old so probably at least 5 more years of hell on earth
