What choice did they have? She quit her job most likely to avoid conflict of interest and now they don’t have the money for health insurance.

Hope that’s not true. Big mistake if it is.

Cruz could be a leader by 1) showing that Obamacare and socialism is unconstitutional 2) showing WHY Obamacare and socialism is unconstitutional and 3) rejecting unconstitutional federal acts like Obamacare .

Cruz is already the best leader on the scene with respect to GOP candidates for POTUS, your suggestions notwithstanding.

I believe we should follow the text of every law, even [a] law I disagree with,” Cruz said. “It’s one of the real differences—if you look at President Obama and the lawlessness, if he disagrees with a law he simply refuses to follow it or claims the authority to unilaterally change.”

POW!

Liberals are already screeching about it. Apparently they think they can convince him to break the law (so they can attack) or to retreat so they can use that.

Cruz is SHOWING Leadership by this very action. From the article you didn't read:
“I believe we should follow the text of every law, even [a] law I disagree with,” Cruz said. “It’s one of the real differences—if you look at President Obama and the lawlessness, if he disagrees with a law he simply refuses to follow it or claims the authority to unilaterally change.”

Meanwhile I’ve seen a number libs who WANTED Obamacare decline to purchase insurance (A) because they cannot afford it and (B) they are holding out for Single Payer to come some day.

Talk about hypocrisy.

I hope there was some sarcasm in that. In addition to his Senate salary, she was pulling down seven figures at her job. They live in a luxury apartment in Houston with a full time nanny. I doubt they're remotely close to qualifying for an Obamacare subsidy.
