Seriously? Trump says: 'Ted Cruz gave us Obamacare'

"Donald Trump is blaming rival Ted Cruz - wrongly - for President Barack Obama's health care law.

Trump says Cruz is "the one that got Justice Roberts onto the United States Supreme Court. He pushed him, he approved him and Justice Roberts approved Obamacare twice when it should have been rejected."

Trump says, "Ted Cruz gave us Obamacare."

Cruz did indeed support John Roberts' nomination. But Roberts was confirmed in 2005, years before Cruz was elected to the Senate.............

“Cruz did indeed support John Roberts’ nomination. But Roberts was confirmed in 2005, years before Cruz was elected to the Senate.............”

Why are you falsely denying that Ted Cruz is the person responsible for “recruited future Chief Justice John Roberts and noted attorney Mike Carvin to the Bush legal team”? See:

Bush administration

Cruz joined the George W. Bush presidential campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising then-Governor George W. Bush on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration, and government reform.[48]

Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devising strategy, and drafting pleadings for filing with the Supreme Court of Florida and U.S. Supreme Court, in the case Bush v. Gore, during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, leading to two wins for the Bush team.[44][51] Cruz recruited future Chief Justice John Roberts and noted attorney Mike Carvin to the Bush legal team.[49]

After President Bush took office, Cruz served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department[5][51] and as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.[5][40][51]

TRUMP nails CRuse.

Cruz was pushing Roberts hard, from inside the Bush campaign connections. G W Bush finally nominated him.

Mr. Constitution proved to be the main lane for Roberts being at the top of the heap among the Bushies.

Liberal, I guess?

Cruz has so far received $325,000.000.00 from McConnell’s lawyer. uh, huh.

Cruz’ gift of $200,000.00 to McConnell and the NRSC, finally paid off. You know.

Remember, Mississippi?

It went toward the MISSISSIPPI TREATMENT to crush McDaniel, the TParty conservative who was leading that race, and it re-elected McConnell’s mule, Thad Cochran.

Cool, huh?

Yes, that was the year fine TED was Vice Chairman of the old boys club, the NRSC, and had to be so still.

Cruz never uttered a peep for, gave a dime to, or gave a damn about one single conservatives in those 2014 races.

He was greasing his climb with the Old Boys.

Of course, after the race, Ted was right on time. He raised all sorts of billy hell about Mississippi!

Yep. Right on time.

so, Trump spoke all accurate information, just a longer span of time that it transpired over. It’s still all things Cruz did, was involved in.
