So basically a cheap shot at Obamacare which is now passe.

On top of that, his two little girls now have no health insurance because their daddy dropped the ball. Way to take care of your family Ted.

A lying piece of shit.

"On December 31, Blue Cross cancelled the PPO health insurance policy covering the Cruz family. That plan was purchased on the individual market, using a private insurance broker, with no government funds. At the time, the broker informed Sen. Cruz that the plan was being cancelled. The broker did not inform him that Blue Cross had automatically enrolled the family in another policy, an HMO with far more limited coverage. Based on this information, Sen. Cruz believed the family was uninsured and asked the broker to pull quotes immediately for a new policy.

His "broker" would have been informed long before the Dec. 31 (probably more like Jan. 1) cancellation date. For that matter, I'm pretty sure that Cruz would have been informed by BC/BS directly. So the quotes Cruz supposedly requested would also have been in his hands long before the cancellation date, giving him the opportunity to pick a replacement plan before the old one was cancelled.

Of course, none of this happened. Cruz simply (knowingly) allowed the automatic enrollment in a "far more limited" plan to to proceed.

BCBS sent him a letter in July.

Think this guy Cruz is becoming a much bigger liability for the GOP than $ara Palin. The party had set a very low bar for her but Cruz, he is incendiary and tags like 'evil', 'mean' and 'no one likes him' are going to be reinforced over and over.

I love the title of this. "The Gop's Crump Cancer." LOL!

Money quote, at the end, from Senator Graham, talking about GOP primaries that are a fight for an angry, bigoted, populist base that precludes general election victory:

As Senator Graham told The Daily Beast, “that’s what so stupid about this thing. It’s like buying a ticket on the Titanic after you see the movie. You know how it ends.”

Which is why I agree with Bernie Sanders.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) admitted Wednesday that he is rooting for Donald Trump to win the Republican nomination.

During a CNN town-hall event, Sanders told moderator Anderson Cooper that he liked his odds against the real-estate mogul.

"Frankly, I'm prejudiced: I want Trump to win the Republican nomination," Sanders said. "I would love the opportunity to run against him. I think we'd win."
