That’s an excuse? They were ALL elected to repeal/stop it. Cruz did a great job with his one man filibuster, but he did not get a coalition to follow-—key ingredient of a leader. So, he “tried.”
I see that you add the word "repeal," as if that's what you said the first time.
XeroCare was already in place when Cruz was elected.
I know. Nobody’s perfect. That’s why I have to shake my head when the GOPe “conservatives” whine about Trump’s lack of conservatism. They were the same ones two years ago telling us that Cruz’s conservatism was “hurting the party.”
I love Cruz. He is the most consistently conservative guy we have. But winning demands more than "consistently conservative."
I can tell none have learned anything from Trump because all their speeches at the end last night were canned speeches and not from the heart.
They are all following the playbook with maybe the exception of Carson.
Fiorina’s speech was a total bore. They are all going back to boring poll tested speeches and they are going to crash and burn.
By that way of thinking Reagan should have given up as a failure in 1976.
Well he DID fail in 1976. That didn’t mean he quit, but to portray his presidential run as a “success” would be a flat-out lie.
Bingo.
Both Klitchko brothers would have beaten Ali. Hands down (figuratively speaking)
“Why does your father want to destroy the Jews? Is that the same reason you want to destroy The Donald?”
He doesn’t. We are Jewish. He was just stating how the Jews could be destroyed, not that he wants to do it. Fact is, as long as the muzzies and the rest of the barbarians want to destroy Israel, the stronger it becomes.
As far as Trump goes, I knew his father when I lived in Brooklyn. Would see him just about every day. Met Donald a couple of times when I was working at the Taj. I like the brashness, it is what made him famous. However I prefer Cruz.
When you love the attention, taking that away can destroy you. What would happen to Trump if he was out of the limelight?
I like reading the different opinions and thoughts generated from a comment.
Sorry about my knee-jerk misunderstanding about your father. Next year in Jerusalem! Look to see who the Media and the Republican Establishment are trying to destroy, those are your guys. Trump and Cruz. (Then of course the media would go after Walker as well because of his anti-union positions and activities.) I love Cruz (except for some immigration views and TPA votes) but I don’t think he can ever get the necessary ‘crossover’ vote, and perhaps not too many of the ‘independents’. That leaves us with Trump or another bought and paid for establishment politician.
The minute the GOPe and the MSM treat him as a candidate and not Donald Trump, he will drop from the race not long after. He lives for attention. Deny him that and you neutralize him.
You mean, treat him like he was Ted Cruz?
CNN should have given Ted Cruz more time to list his awesome political credentials: Cruz is a a regular Energizer Bunny in the Senate...running around to all his important committee duties.
TED CRUZ’s CURRENT SENATE COMMITTEES (SOURCE: Cruz web site):
•Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities
•Subcommittee on Seapower
•Subcommittee on Strategic Forces
Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation
•Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness, Chairman
•Subcommittee on Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security
•Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation, and the Internet
•Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance, and Data Security
•Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries, and Coast Guard
•Subcommittee on Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts, Chairman
•Subcommittee on The Constitution
•Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest
Joint Economic Committee
Committee on Rules & Administration “
More debate time would also have allowed Cruz to show his past support for even more H1B Visas that he inserted in the Senate’s failed Comprehensive Immigration Bill (amnesty).
Cruz might have also bragged about his support for Obama’s “legacy”....voting for Obama’s TPP trade bill.
