Ted Cruz Spearheads Another Obamacare Repeal And Replace Bill (Appointed by McConnell)
redstate ^ | May 11, 2017 | Ralph Mitchell

Posted on 05/11/2017 7:54:07 AM PDT by mitchell001

Mitch McConnell has put the Senate Obamacare Repeal and Replace Bill in the leadership of Ted Cruz. McConnell has appointed a GOP Working Group led by Cruz to write a Repeal and Replace Bill. This process bypasses the Senate Committees. This new Senate Bill will go directly to the Senate floor for a vote.

Certainly looks that way. I’m not a fan of Ted but it might be a way of regaining some goodwill he lost last year. But McConnell probably giving it to him because he knows there is some bad blood between conservatives thinking it will taint the outcome. I hope ted does a good job

I guess they are past the Mitch McConnell lied to me thing.

McConnel is a liar, but the whole "McConnell lied to me" was always fundamentally a lie since Cruz only discovered this fact after the mass revolt of his supporters in response to his actions. Cruz was just depending on the gullibility of the public and the fact most people didn't keep up with all the fine details in order to sidestep the mess his actions had brought him into.

I don’t believe any rational person believes he is not a citizen.

It would help if he showed us his naturalization papers.

It was posted online by another individual....they are just one of many who have been hit hard paying for others.....it’s just astounding.....and no doubt set up to fail by the Demorats in hopes they could move to single payer....they did not expect to loose the election as we know.

Not really. Ted’s is probably the most brilliant mind in Congress, and Mitch know that GOP voters are furious with him, so why not utilize Ted? Nothing to do with trusting Mitch.

the best we can hope for at this point is a slight shift in the alignment of which politicians benefit the most

Once politicians get in on an extortion racket like "affordable healthcare" there is no turning back, it would be like trying to go back in time, its impossible

Obamacare totally destroyed the free market health system we knew.

So do I, except he renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014. Unless something else happened....he’s a citizen of nowhere.

As we learned 3 weeks ago, Senators and Congressmen do NOT write laws.
K-Street writes the Bill, Congress pushes the Bill.

Unless a Congressman is trying to enhance their donor list.
Cruz is enhancing his donor list.

The anti-Cruz zealots serve Democrats, whether they know it or not.

Cruz zealots are willing to trash the 'original intent' of our Constitution... Cruz is no more eligible under 'original intent' to hold the office of president than was that toddler prince Obama... but the majority in both parties could not be bothered to protect our Constitution... I mean really now, it was a Harvard Law School grad, Canadian, Cuban's turn to squat in our White House..... under a faux flag of conservative speak.
