"On Obamacare, Cruz wants to repeal the law … and then basically see what happens."

What liars they are!

They were worried before - they’re terrified now.....

More likely than not, the New Republic scribbler simply transcribed a press release from one of Soros’ PR companies. Soros has paid for dozens of PR companies across the US - around the globe, actually - to spew out left wing talking points and attacks against conservatives. The screeds are sent to selected propagandists and written up as news stories and opinion pieces in the MSM.

You can easily see the Soros effect by noting how many so-called journalists use the same story-line, phrases and words in their “news” articles.

Rather striking how much of the article _agrees_ (unwittingly) with Cruz.

Taxes? Derided as missing the problem of complexity in taxes, yet author agrees progressive taxation could/should be just as simple. Derided as “political nightmare for non-rich”, yet author overlooks the political nightmare taxation is now.

Abolish IRS & Obamacare? Derided as not having a “what next” plan, yet author conveniently overlooks the plan he does have, and ignores that simplification/repeal means whatever does require doing would be so simple as trivial (my favored IRS alternative: states & territories each write 1 big check, with 2 guys working 4 days a year to figure out what’s owed (fed budget / #of jurisdictions) and cash the checks).

Debt ceiling? Derided as “hostage-taking”, yet author agrees “Breaching the debt ceiling would be disastrous.” Congress keeps breaching the debt ceiling, just raising it. Should it “really breach”, well, it’s going to and it’s going to be disastrous when it happens so maybe we’d best take it seriously.

Un-presidential? Derided as “ridiculous and infuriating”, author prior agreed “Breaching the debt ceiling would be disastrous” so yeah, something really serious & shocking has to happen or there WILL be a real & final breach.

Calculating? Derided as “every move preparing for 2016”, author’s point applies moreso to Hillary!’s modus operandi for 16+ years (the only standing candidate on the Left).

Benefitting Democrats? Hillary is cratering, Obama is done, no other Leftist is viable. Republican party is about to lose the Right base (having completely ignored the 2014 sweep). Author agrees Cruz does appeal to the right-wing, which is severely demoralized and in dire need of an energizing candidate.

This author wants the Left to choose our candidate. NO

Cruz unveils ObamaCare alternative

Basically all that does, in addition to repealing Obamacare, is allow the sale of insurance across state lines. I hope there's more to his plan than that.

“But other than his oratorical skills, Cruz is entirely unsuited to be president. Luckily for America, his candidacy is likely doomed to fizzle. Cruz...”

Wow, he has them panicking!

Yet above all, one particular position should disqualify Cruz—or anyone else who holds it—from the presidency: using the debt ceiling as a hostage device. Breaching the debt ceiling would be disastrous. It’s hard to forecast exactly what would happen, but we can somewhat forecast day one after default. The government would have to prioritize its payments. Do you withhold food stamps from low-income Americans? Delay Social Security checks? Maybe we should stop payments on infrastructure projects. Those missed payments would harm millions of Americans and cause mass disruptions around the country as cash flow problems cause companies to become insolvent. Over the long term, it would permanently raise our borrowing costs, making our interest payments more expensive. In short, it would be self-inflicted economic Armageddon. Cruz considers his willingness to risk that catastrophe a selling point, touting his role in opposing the debt ceiling hikes on his website.

I have been forced to do this since I I lost so much money
