RE: Cruz is not on our side. It’s become quite evident he’s a globalist who’s getting directions from sources we don’t control.

You don’t have to like Ted Cruz, but please learn about his background before you make such a statement.

For instance, the case of: Medellín v. Texas

Medellín v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491 (2008), is a United States Supreme Court decision that held that even if an international treaty may constitute an international commitment, it is not binding domestic law unless Congress has enacted statutes implementing it or unless the treaty itself is “self-executing.”

Also, the Court held that decisions of the International Court of Justice are not binding domestic law and that, without authority from the United States Congress or the Constitution, the President of the United States lacks the power to enforce international treaties or decisions of the International Court of Justice.

Who defended US sovereignty and states’ rights ? ANSWER: TED CRUZ.

Ted Cruz’s Record of defending U.S. Sovereignty:

* Fought and won a landmark ruling for U.S. sovereignty in Medellin v. Texas at the U.S. Supreme Court against 90 foreign nations and the President to ensure the supremacy of U.S. legal system against encroachment by international treaties and rulings of the “World Court.”

* Cosponsored a resolution urging the president not to sign the UN Arms Treaty, which would have subordinated the Second Amendments rights of American citizens to global interests.

THE RECORD IS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE. It is not simply words but DEEDS.

And BTW, why are you talking about globalism in a thread that’s about AMERICAN healthcare?

You're bringing up that 2008 court case Cruz successfully fought, and it's a large part of why Constitutional Conservatives (including myself) embraced the Cruz candidacy.

It's the things that happened during the campaign that have turned us away, and wondering who he is today. How do you explain him turning in just two weeks from the wall was his idea to saying he'd support Rubio over Trump, and doing the tag-team thing with Rubio? How could ANYONE support Rubio over Trump, if they really believe the wall must be built?
