Ted Cruz is a Complex Guy

Drumpf has, to paraphrase the quip about how to be a great writer, made himself an ugly person first, and then simply campaigned normally.
:D
Thank you for that! I'll try to remember it, when I need something to laugh about.
 

So Obama couldn't pass single payer because he wouldn't have the votes from his own party, is that the point of this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ACA was the best they could do given the unrelenting impedance from the Right. I imagine it would have been a whole lot better if the opposition just stayed in bed.

If Democrats were completely in control and could have whatever they wanted, how is the ACA the best they could have done because of GOP interference?

I don't hold Democrats blameless. I just blame Republicans more. Perhaps something better than zero cooperation would have fostered better practices and better outcomes. The Right brought more toxicity to the table.

The democrat attitude was "my way or the high way." If the democrats had included some republican ideas, they would have received some republican votes. For example, if democrats allowed insurance companies to sell policies nationally; and, included minor medical tort reform, they would have received bipartisan support.

Isn't that Cruz's slogan?

Oh, and yeah, Republicans were all about compromise. For the other guy.

More importantly, the Republicans would never have been able to torpedo it at every turn if they had been a part of it.
 
You can tell Cruz was raised by techies. He's really more of an engineer personality than a lawyer, and I mean that in a complimentary way.

All of us can tell you are not a born natural American and I mean that in a complimentary way.
