Ted Cruz is the ONLY politician I have encountered in my considerably long life to do in office EXACTLY what he said he would do while campaigning for office. He has my vote for as long as he wants it.
I agree. Why people think he's any creepier than any other politician is beyond me.
I lot of his opponents have been on his case for the government shut down, the green eggs and ham evening, yet what he said during that filibuster was true.
In this last election, the Beto ads target this very thing, "Cruz denies health care to....etc".
Cruz during the filibuster called it, he flat-out nailed it, when others wouldn't say a word, and most republicans stayed quiet.
He said premiums would go up, you wouldn't be able to keep your plan, or your doctor, insurance companies would close exchanges, all design to lead us to single payer.
He was dead on 100% accurate about all of it.
McCain called him a loony bird and those of us who support him, Hobbits.
And now? Our state is being over-run by folks who now want single payer, and came close to electing a Senator who agrees with them.
