Sanders, Cruz to face off in debate over future of ObamaCare on CNN
The Hill ^ | 02/01/2017 | BY JENNIFER CALFAS

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) will go to battle next week in a debate over the future of ObamaCare.

Sanders and Cruz, who both ran for their party's nomination in the 2016 presidential race, will square off in a debate airing on CNN next Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 9 p.m.

The debate will be moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. The debate comes as Republicans in Congress craft a plan to repeal and replace former President Obama’s signature healthcare law. A promo for the debate aired during CNN's town hall with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and news quickly spread on social media.

I've wanted a Ted Cruz / Bernie Sanders debate for over a year now. https://t.co/zkP52IUcCu

And even IF CNN gives Bernie the questions ahead of time . . . like they did with Hillary during the election . . . Cruz will literally mop the floor with Bernie. Bring on the popcorn.

Why does any self respecting Conservative go in CNN anymore? They aren’t just skewed, aren’t just tinged with a liberal bias - they support the Marxist overthrow of the constitutionally elected leader lf the Republic.

They are a terrorist organisation . They need to be starved of the oxygen of publicity.

The “debate” will be one Republican vs. three Democrats (Sanders, Tapper and Bash).

Important point: Obamacare is designed to force some people to have less so that some people can have more. Classic socialism.

I am not rich however I am one of the many who are forced to pay a lot for terrible insurance so that someone else can get theirs for free.

Cruz is attempting to rehabilitate his image.
Everything Ted Cruz does is in furtherance of his ambition to usurp the Presidency.

Congress and the Senate continue to play kabuki theater, to pander to the dumbest in the land, but Trump, now he plays in a whole different league, he refuses to play in the mud with the pigs and that really angers the oinkers.

Based on the stunt by CNN’s producer today, Cruz should cancel and tell CNN to F themselves.
