I think the real reason why this is such an issue is that if someone had simply asked him if he had insurance, and he got it wrong due to bad info, well, ok.
But, he brought it up. It smacks of using a victim card, and one that is to scare others about Obamacare. If Ted Cruz can loose his insurance, then I’m in real danger. Of course Obamacare is bad, but don’t manipulate with false information.
I don’t see it as a victim card strategy at all. From the getgo he rejected special treatment as a senator because, on principle, it was hypocritical for Congress to pass laws for the “little people” that they themselves could evade or at least soften. In my view, his entire purpose for doing this was to identify with the people he was sworn to represent. I consider that good and noble behavior.
For my own part, I knew folks at work who simply didn’t believe that good policies were being trashed over this, and they were shocked to hear my own story, proof that yes, the predicted bad consequences were really happening. Libs live in such a lala land it’s unbelievable.
