WOW! Rick Perry Supposedly Supports A Primary Challenge To Ted Cruz

[Night Hides Not]

Issues! Yipee!

The House controls spending so Trump can't do a trillion dollar stimulus all by himself.  To me it's a non-issue.

Trump has said he will call a special session of Congress to repeal the ACA. I believe he will do just that. Trump "plan" is to let loose the private market to drive down health insurance costs. I think that is a good idea, however those that can not afford insurance will not he left to die on the streets. Something will be done for the very poor and I am ok with that too.

I disagree with Trump on PP, defund it completely, it is a evil organization whose primary business is killing the unborn.

I trust Trump to secure the border and enforce existing immigration laws. We will lose the country if this is not done this election cycle.

No need to call a "special session", when Congress meets year round, unlike states like Texas that meet biennially.

Trump's just throwing out fodder to the low-infos.

    @jpsb  Is English your First Language?  I don't mean that as an Insult, it just seems your reading (English) comprehension is severely lacking.

    I hate to break it to you, but, you and @sinkspur do have something in common- Your Hate for Ted Cruz.

I don't hate him and more then likely I'll be voting Cruz in 2018. However I do prefer honesty in those that represent me. Cruz has honesty issues, he'd be much better off if he just said I make a mistake, sorry. Instead he wraps himself in to a pretzel trying to explain why he's flip flopping on issue after issue. To his credit he flip flops correctly but it is quite unnerving to watch. As with his pathetic attempt to blame the turtle for his gigantic TPP flip flop.

There's a trade-off here, Trump plays six dimensional chess, while Ted Cruz employs the English language. Unfortunately, six dimensional chess "trumped" English this year.

Ah, it's Mechanicos.  I should have known.

I remember that when you were posting as Mechanicos, you couldn't come up with that Cruz lie either.

And, in your world, Breitbart does.

To be fair, National Enquirer is more honest than the NYT, WaPo, etc.

Strawman.  The House has nothing to do with Trump's 'stimulus' proposal.

Let's take two candidates.  One proposes a $850 billion stimulus bill.  The other proposes a $1 trillion stimulus bill.

Which of the two is the more liberal?

Does the House control spending? Simple question.

Does the House control spending? Simple question.

    By the stated Articles in the Constitution - YES

   But for the last 10 years of Continuing Budget Resolutions, I'd say recent History proves them to be a disaster in upholding their Constitutional duty, and a $20T debt is more proof if you need it.

   So NO, the house does not control spending, anymore, use to though.

   You obviously didn't read the memo.

House doesn't control spending, spending bill originate in the House. There is a difference there.

   If The House doesn't Appropriate it, it ain't there to Spend, so they do control it, unless the House lets the Senate pull tricks, like obummercare.   

   ALL Spending originates in the HOUSE.

Not to mention the White House,any White House. Pick one.

As evidenced by the fact the appropriations bills for the current FY, which began on October 1st, have yet to be passed.

So why do we still vote for Republican control of the House?  Rhetorical question, no need to answer.

[Hoodat]

Does the House control spending? Simple question.

Spending is controlled by the Legislative and Executive branches which does not have a thing to do with the question I asked.

Again, one candidate proposes a $850 billion stimulus bill while another candidate proposes a $1 trillion stimulus bill.

One simply doesn't ask questions of those playing six dimensional chess.

I've seen that repeated many times, but I've yet to see anyone explain why they think it is true.

An odd interpretation of Article 1, Section 7 would be my guess as to where this got started.

ObamaCare originated in the Senate.  And according to the Supreme Court, it is a tax bill.
