"If confirmed, she would give the Democrats a majority at the FCC that would enable them to impose a radical left-wing agenda, including investment-killing and job-killing so-called net neutrality rules, otherwise known as Obamacare for the Internet" Cruz said.

What

It's just right-wing buzzword scrabble with that guy. No need to even speak in complete sentences, just say a bunch of words that your voters want to demonize, and take home the money.

"Radical" "Obamacare" "Left-wing" Triple word score!

I was honestly nodding my head in agreement until I got the the word investment-killing. Then I realized it was meant to sound bad lol

God damn, Cruz will molest talking points into a sentence by any means necessary. It's like he rolls dice each morning to decide which random words he has to slap together.

Drag shows are literally banning gas stoves through an Antifa deep state Obamacare abortion.

Political madlibs except you can't call them that because it has libs in it

Reminds me of the dolphins from South Park who write tv episodes. We already know all the lines and ideas, they just shuffle them now and then to break up the monotony (but will never help small businesses by breaking up a monopoly)

HOLUP You're saying these drag shows are going to force abortions onto everyone in the United States and they plan on INCREASING TAXES!? Thanks Obama.

His constituents love Obamacare as long as you call it, “The Affordable Care Act” lol what a nutsack

It's just saying a bunch of bullshit and hoping that one of the things you say resonates with everyone.

If you don't get them by the first 3 lies, saying 'Obamacare' is guaranteed to rile them up.

As a Canadian I think it's hilarious that anyone thinks Joe Biden is the radical left.

Ted Cruz reminds me of a lot of people, but I hate him more than any of them.

No worries, the Democrats will do what the party does best with a majority - pretty much nothing.

Enough to say “see? We’re better than the other guys”, but not enough to even nudge the status quo.

I wish it was going to be radical left wing. Gimme that socialized internet!
