    Rashmon, please repent. This is a thread to monitor Cruz making his move in the polls. Nothing more.

    Also, Watch Out!

    Good point - this bears repeating:

    Are you ready to watch Ted Cruz "make his move" in 2016? If not, you might want to start getting ready.


    I for one have been readying myself all through the last weekend's snow in.

    I would estimate my preparedness level at 4-Sapphire Ultra

    Well, I did mull over what existing thread to put this little tidbit in but chose this one to amp up the simmering cognitive dissonance of the insecure Cruz supporters.

    Has he made it yet or is it still safe?

    Of course because Cruz's national security suggestion that we carpet bomb Syria is very realistic.

    Forget Reagan. Ariel Sharon would be unelectable in today's GOP.

    :)lol Cruz has to admit lie that he claimed falsely that he had no health insurance bc of Obamacare. Wish I could find the video which was on MSNBC of him playacting all dejected bc his wife scolded him for losing their coverage. He was sitting around a table acting all plain John Doe despite Princeton, Harvard his S. Ct. internship, big corporate law firm background and his wife's gig at Goldman. :)

    Ted Cruz has health insurance, and he had it all along, his campaign said Friday night, reversing what the presidential candidate said a day earlier.

    Mr. Cruz told a Manchester, N.H., audience on Thursday that he was currently uninsured — which he said infuriated his wife –after Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas canceled many individual policies, including his. As a result, Mr. Cruz said he was now looking to buy a new plan at sharply higher premiums, a turn of events he attributed to the Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare. Mr. Cruz has been a harsh critic of the health law.


    But it turns out he was never uninsured. So why did he think he had lost coverage and didn’t have any currently?

    This is semantics.

    His policy WAS cancelled. He was on a PPO and Blue Cross did get rid of all of the PPOs, including his. They replaced it with an HMO.

    He overstated it and did falsely claim to be "uninsured" but is 100% true that is policy was cancelled and 100% true that he was going to enroll in a different plan with higher premiums. The BCBS HMO is the equivalent of uninsured.

    Agreed. It wasn't a lie it was a falsehood.

    If he had left it has his policy was cancelled then that would be a discussion but that he said he was uninsured then that is either a flat out lie or else he is extremely ignorant about his health care coverage.
