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 spokesman Rick Tyler says, "Trump's claim is ridiculous, especially considering that he has advocated and supported a single-payer health care system along with many other social liberal policies."

He just retwweted this claim.
Trump is seriously demented. I hope he builds “the Wall” though.
Trump voted for Obama twice , so Trump gave you Obamacare
As Cruz supporters say... Grow a pair. That’s fair game.
And that why he has been fighting to get rid of it. All part of a cunning plan from Cruz. Cruz is satan
I want him to win solely for the entertainment value
Doesn’t he realize all those tweets become public record!
Sounds about right.
I dont even care that he did this. It’s a nasty race, you throw something out there and hope it sticks, even if its wrong.
I DO care that people cry like they’re five over a mailing that likely had almost NO effect in Iowa (Carson got 9 percent, his HIGHEST in polling in the weeks before).
And if all it takes is a last minute email from ANOTHER candidate to make you believe yours quit, you shouldn’t be voting.
LOL!
A wall with a big revolving door that sends everyone home (which ain't gonna happen) and lets "the good ones back in) which means everyone who hasn't been convicted of two or three violent felonies.
Trump is all mouth. In case you hadn't figured that out by yourself.
False
FReepers shouldn’t make stuff up
Humpty Trumpty gives me a headache.
People are morons. They don’t vote or pick a candidate the day of.
But all the Trump Crux wars just moves up Rubio.
Trump never voted for obama. You need to read past headlines and BS tweets from Glenn Beck.
“As Cruz supporters say... Grow a pair.”
As my Grandfather say: “What the hell does that have to do with the price of tea in China”?

From Ted Cruz is bashing John Roberts after years of praising him...
According to a 2005 Sun-Sentinel report, Cruz once praised Roberts as "one of the best constitutional minds in the country."
Cruz reportedly made that comment while explaining why, as a domestic policy adviser for George W. Bush's 2000 presidential campaign, he brought Roberts to Florida to assist with his team's legal battle over the controversial post-election recount.
And as the Texas Tribune reported three years ago, when Bush nominated Roberts to the Supreme Court in 2005, Cruz "was an outspoken advocate for his confirmation, calling him 'brilliant' and a 'lawyer's lawyer.'"
"As an individual, John Roberts is undoubtedly a principled conservative, as is the president who appointed him," Cruz wrote at the time in the National Review. "But, as a jurist, Judge Roberts's approach will be that of his entire career: carefully, faithfully applying the Constitution and legal precedent."
BUT NOW CRUZ SAYS THIS:
Cruz specifically called out Chief Justice John Roberts, appointed by George W. Bush, and Anthony Kennedy, appointed by Ronald Reagan, as "bad picks". Roberts has gotten a lot of flack among conservatives in recent years for voting to uphold Obamacare, while Kennedy was castigated by the right for writing the opinion this year to legalize gay marriage.
Cruz helped convince Bush to appoint who he now calls a "bad pick." Can you believe this guy?
yes, and the blinding hatred will ensure Rubio has an open middle to run all the way into the end zone.
We knew the power that be would come at us hard with a plan and a plan to back that up.
Rubio is garbage and can be bought easily. This is sad.
Trump is the best Twitterer.
