Cruz Exposes Trump ObamaCare Lies
American Thinker ^ | February 27, 2016 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 02/27/2016 7:46:59 AM PST by justlittleoleme

One of the most amazing abilities Donald Trump has is being able to lie about his own record and get away with it.

-snip-

Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz cross-examined 2016 rival Donald Trump on Thursday's GOP debate stage,

-snip-

"True or false: you said the government should pay for everyone's health care?" Cruz asked Trump.

"That's false," Trump flatly said.

"You've never said that?" Cruz asked, seemingly surprised by the denial.

"I said it worked in a couple countries," Trump quipped.

"But you never stood on this debate stage and said, 'It worked great in Canada and Scotland, we should do it here'?" Cruz pressed.

"No, I did not," Trump replied

The fact is, as Trump told CBS' Scott Pelley in a "60 Minutes" interview, while claiming he would repeal ObamaCare and replace it with - wait for it, government-paid universal health care:

Scott Pelley: Universal health care?

Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now.

Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of how?

Donald Trump: They're going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably--

Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?

Donald Trump: --the government's gonna pay for it....

-snip-

During the first GOP debate, moderator Bret Baier said to Donald Trump, "15 years ago, you called yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a Canadian-style system."

"As far as single payer, it works in Canada," Trump replied. "It works incredibly well in Scotland...

The uninsured person is going to be taken care of how?

How come noone asks Ted Cruz this question. I guess he’d let them die in the streets.

Recycled, hit piece. This crap was discussed months ago and was proven meaningless and is being brought backup because Cruz has nothing else.

Well because words matter..... How do you know what he believes, listen to his words, and read his words....

I have found no evidence that he is this great dyed in the wool conservative. To think this you would have to stop researching him beyond 9 months ago.

To me he is just a liberal reality tv show star from New York, who is playing a conservative to win the Republican nomination TV show.

Agreed Trump didn't explain it, but it's pretty easy to figure out. Not enough jobs to support the medical industry; the medical insurance industry has been skimming too much wealth (its greed will be its undoing). Costs went through the roof when people's wallets became detached from the medical decisions. EVERY test and procedure turned into a matter of entitlement.

Then there is the inevitable failure point when anything is centralized at that big of a scale. Quality of care goes down, corruption and unaccountability come in, etc. If "failure" is measured by reduction in standard of care, all efforts using government coercion and centralization will result in failure.

Even a split in the TX. hurts Cruz, Trump gets proportional votes virtually the same out of the total 155 delegates.

Trump is winning in almost all the Super Tuesday states.
By the end of the day there will be no way anyone catches him.

Its a fantasy that there will be a brokered convention in this day of social media, internet news, blogs like FR.

Get ready for the Trumpys to show up and deny he said what he said, nothing he says means anything to them!!!

And as predicted, they’ve arrived. The Trumpateers seem to be of the mindset that Trump will run a growing Federal government better

And you are using the strawman argument.

Donald has opened doors marked opportunity and you are expecting to bang on them and get genies that bow to your every wish, rather than walk through them and work.

Those are direct quotes.... the only thing I pulled out was some of american thinkers’ commentary, due to excerpt length constraints.

I even went and got his whole quote to be fair.

Does it really matter to Trump’s cult if Ted proved positively that Banana Don is a brazen liar? No. This liar will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Right.

And the guilt you bear is that much greater because you have misinterpreted them. With them right before your face.

Imho, I think Trump is claiming he is worth more than he reported and that is why the IRS is investigating. If one claims to have 10 billion dollars, and you only have a billion on your tax forms they want to know about the discrepancy.

I while filing my Fafsa forms last year, I made the mistake of adding the zeros for the cents. However the form already has that, so I told them I had a million dollars. I realized my mistake and fixed, but the flagged my account and wanted proof. So I linked the IRS info over, it was a mess.

If that could happen to me, then Donald claiming one billion on taxes. Then doing his financial disclosure claims ten billion. It probably raises red flags at the IRS. Of course it could also be the IRS out to get republicans so..........

Yes, I see them and I see how you opportunistically have misinterpreted them.

These do NOT add up to “Government pays for everybody’s health care.” I don’t know what kind of arrant idiocy would conclude that they do!

He will get trounced in an electoral landslide. She may be the first candidate to win all 50 states.
