Donald Trump on Wednesday leveled a bold accusation at one of his chief rivals for the Republican nomination: "Ted Cruz gave us Obamacare."
"He's the one that got Justice Roberts onto the United States Supreme Court," Trump added.
While Cruz vocally supported Roberts' nomination at the time, he was not yet a U.S. senator and therefore could not vote to confirm Roberts to the Supreme Court.

Give him 3 or 4 more IPhones Please, I love his tweets.
If I recall correctly Roberts was not nominated or accepted as a first choice of either Bush or Congress. He was actually a compromise after a couple of other nominations.
<><><><
Roberts was initially drafted to replace Sandra Day OConnor, but Bush withdrew that when rehnquist died and drafted him to be chief justice.
It was Alito who got drafted after Harriet Miers withdrawal.
I promise I will wear long underwear knowing my coat might suddenly become unavailable.
;)
Not going to happen. See Trumper comment at #17
False parallel - Cruz never says "Trump GAVE US" whatever.
Trump has been attacking Cruz from the left. That is not the conservative position.
A massive risk we take with Trump as president is that he will want to appoint his liberal judge sister to SCOTUS and dems will be all for it.
Let’s blame Fidel Castro. After all, if he hadn’t staged a revolution in Cuba, then Ted Cruz’s father never would have fled to the U.S. and met Ted Cruz’s mother, so Ted Cruz would never have existed to recommend Roberts.
DAMN YOU FIDEL CASTRO!!!!
I support Trump but wtf are you talking about? Have we all become little mind readers who actually know what is in someones (Cruz) head even though his words say different?
He will deport by attrition so he says as long as illegals get freebies they won’t leave and Rubio said the other day on univision legalization then border control. Neither will send those not here legally out. Name the difference.
Trump has now figured out a way in his twisted mind to blame Ted Cruz for giving us Obamacare
How can anyone here (FR) support Trump for our President?
I’m at a total loss
He’s the video, must watch

I guess things must be slow over at that Consistent Crybabies site...I see a lot of them - who’ve posted terrible things about FR, JimRob and FReepers - have returned :(
And he promises to give us a whole lot more of the same..!!
You do realize that Trump is ON RECORD supporting single payer and praising Scotland AND Canada for their single payer systems, right? The Donald only complained that Obamacare should be managed better; not repealed.
“Romney was the immigration hard liner last time”
Yes, and remember that Trump criticized Romney for being too harsh on illegals and being ‘mean’ to illegals for demanding self-deportation. Trump even went as far as blaming Romney’s anti-illegal immigration stance on Romney’s loss.
No way. Cruz would be “borked” by Republicans.
Great, the ineligible ticket!
Trump is 100% correct. Cruz aggressively advocated for Roberts to Bush, yet now says he was a mistake.
People listen to Cruz on judges with his academic and judicial background. Cruz was negligent with his responsibility.
They don’t listen to Trump on judges.
They listen to Trump on trade and immigration.
