Trump and Cruz Partner To Strip Planned Parenthood's Funding
Breitbart ^ | 8/4/2015 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 08/04/2015 1:05:33 PM PDT by conservativejoy

GOP 2016 contenders Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96%. are joining forces in a confrontational intervention that intends to defund Planned Parenthood. As Breitbart TV previously reported, Trump announced he would support a government shutdown to defund Planned Parenthood following the release of a series of investigative videos allegedly showing the organization’s top medical personnel engaged in the sale of aborted baby body parts.

“And I was also in support — if the Republicans stuck together, you could have done it with Obamacare also,” Trump said on Monday’s Hugh Hewitt Show. “But the Republicans decided not to stick together.”

As Politico also reported, Cruz attempted the same strategy in 2013 in an effort to defund Obamacare, which resulted in a 16-day shutdown of the federal government, but still left President Obama’s signature healthcare reform very much alive.

Trump blamed Cruz’s Republican colleagues for leaving him in the lurch.

"And they left a few people out there Like Sen. Ted Cruz (R) TEX< " he continued. "You know they left a lot of the people that went in and really wanted to do the job. And you know what, if they would have stuck together, they would have won that battle"

Since you are a country boy which do you prefer? Champing at the bit OR chomping at the bit?

9 out of 10 Americans would probably say chomping. But I believe the proper term in equestrian circles would be champing, old boy, eh what?

This is great news.

I think DT and Cruz will be a fantastic team.

The libs will accuse them of “playing politics”.

One of their Alinsky style tactics often used when politicians are actually trying to do the right thing.

I don’t think Trump has any say in the matter at the moment, he has no vote in Congress.

The team makes great sense. Cruz to solidify the base and pull in social conservatives, Trump to get economic conservatives and crossovers....winning duo.
