Cruz as a liar

[brimic]

"Burn the world."  What the heck do they mean by that statement?  It sounds like they are ginning up fear for the sake of fear itself.

"Burn the world" probably means that Cruz will stop the increase in free *expletive deleted*it giveaways.

Has Kasich ever verbalized why he did the above...his reasons or reasoning??

Reportedly, he has:

Last year, while appearing at a conference sponsored by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch, Kasich collided with Randy Kendrick, the wife of Arizona Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick, who questioned him about why he’d said that his push for Medicaid expansion was what God wanted. “I don’t know about you, lady,” Kasich said as he pointed at Kendrick, his voice rising. “But when I get to the pearly gates, I’m going to have an answer for what I’ve done for the poor.”

Which is particularly funny to me, since I'm fairly certain that God won't be questioning me on how much of my children's money I stole to give to people who don't want to buy their own insurance. (The medicaid expansion was only for non-disabled adults up to 138% of poverty line...)

Health insurance does not equal health care.  But equating those two is one of the big political lies going around for quite some time.

I think he means to say, "what I've forced others to do for the poor." All quite Biblical.

KJV
Matthew 24
 
Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

Yep, that's fair to see.

This.

Nitwits keep talking that way and I am liable to think better of Cruz.

Robert Reich is on the case!

Pretty much. The SJWs are of  the mind that he's gonna roll the country back a hundred years and take away Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Roe v. Wade, make college only available to rich white males, and so on. Oh, and get us into two world wars.

IOW, they heard he's a Republican.
