He has obviously brought Ted Cruz into the White House to solicit his vote and his help in passing Trump Care Light. I call it that because of Trump's endorsement of that bill.
That bill is not a conservative bill it is a disaster. It is crafted to disguise the fundamental problem which is that all the goodies loaded into Obama care cannot be provided without raising premiums and generating huge budget deficits not to mention market distortions and other hideous consequences.
Trump committed to retain those goodies with grandiose promises of the kind we so roundly criticized when made by Obama, but the arithmetic does not work and can not work. When those promises were made by Trump, anybody who was not dazzled by the man could see that the promise was mathematically impossible.
Of course he has to bring Ted Cruz into the fold because Trump care is crafted as a deceit, a bamboozle, it is designed to convince the base that the promise of repeal is kept, that all the goodies are also kept and at no cost. It just does not work.
This is not Ted Cruz at work, this is Donald Trump.
