On Monday, March 23, 2015, Ted Cruz announced he was running for president of the United States of America.
He cried to the audience at conservative Liberty University (where students were told they would be fined if they didn’t attend the spectacle) to “imagine in 2017 the new president signing legislation repealing every word of Obamacare.” He was, of course, imagining the new president to be himself.
Cruz had shouted and shrilled against Obamacare for years. He called the law illegal.
On Tuesday, March 24, 2015, one-day-old presidential candidate Republican Senator Ted Cruz said he was signing up for Obamacare. You see, his wife was taking an unpaid leave of absence from her job at Goldman Sachs and would no longer be able to pay for little Teddy’s healthcare.
“We will presumably go on the exchange and sign up for health care and we’re in the process of transitioning over to do that,” Cruz told The Des Moines Register.
When election results on 6 November 2024 showed Donald Trump had won the Presidency, for me it was like getting punched in the face, repeatedly. I mean – repeatedly!
