Bernie's swaying back and forth like he was a kid who had to run to the bathroom while Ted was speaking was equally annoying.
Bernie wants to expand Obamacare making it into a socialistic program while Cruz wants to shut down Obamacare and implement a plan letting the free markets take over. I haven't researched if Bernie actually has drafted his own plan, but I know Cruz has.
My husband and I were laughing at Bernie's meandering about the stage while Cruz was speaking, and hubby mentioned a couple of times that he looked like he needed a potty break.
Cruz was well-prepared with concrete facts, figures, and suggestions. All Bernie had was repeated cries of "what if you get sick tomorrow??" and vague anecdotes along the lines of "I've talked to plenty of doctors in Vermont and they say their patients [blah blah blah]".
On the bright side, I learned last night that "being a woman is a pre-existing condition". That's going to cheese off the pro-transgender crowd.
Sanders didn't look good attacking a business owner who couldn't afford to insure her employees or herself. No compassion, just tough noogies for the employees she would have to fire to pay for insurance and tough noogies that she can't grow her business.
Cruz showed his typical compassion even for those who falsely claimed they would be dead if not for Obamacare.
Agreed -- that was a really bad exchange for Sanders. The woman was saying she can't afford to pay for insurance for herself, never mind her employees, and Sanders could only come back with 'well, you SHOULD pay for their insurance!'
Cruz is taking some heat for his response 'congratulating' the woman with MS, but anyone with a brain understood that he was congratulating her on getting treatment and managing her disease. Given that my best friend has MS, I thought it was a really nice response.
