Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) suggested on Sunday that Democrats will lose the 2016 presidential race because they are the party of the “top 1 percent,” and that Republicans are the party of “hard working” people....

“What does that do to your party’s strategy going forward into 2016?” Stephanopolous wondered, adding that GOP economic advisor Kevin Hassett even argued that Hillary Clinton could run on the slogan: “Republicans gave us a crappy economy twice and we fixed it twice.”

“Look, if Hillary Clinton wants to run by telling Americans that the economy is doing great and that you can credit President Obama and Hillary Clinton for that, I would encourage her to follow that strategy,” Cruz replied. “Because the simple reality is that’s true for the wealthy.”

“The top 1 percent under President Obama, the millionaires and billionaires that he constantly demagogues, earn a higher share of our income than any year since 1928,” he continued. “Those with power and influence, who walk the corridors of power of the Obama administration, have gotten fat and happy under big government.”

5. Green is red, and yellow is blue in their world

Truth, facts have no place in the fantasies they create.. unfortunately people will buy that .. The first impulse is to dismiss these people as stupid.. but truthfully it has nothing to do with stupidity.. it has everything to do with a political mind set that refuses to deal with facts that do not fit into a certain little square box..

6. What we have learned today students is,

the Rethugs are predictable and they will run their 2016 campaign with the same themes as 2014. Bash Obama and it works due to the fact we have a very dysfunctional Democratic Party leadership group, As well as the most STUPID messaging program. Cruz is just one of the Theme Testers for the Rethugs. It's all about Optics and Messages. Noticed over the weekend how the so called M$M,were doing fluff pieces about various Rethugs.

7. Show us some fucking evidence, Ted

You got nothin to back up that claim.

10. I think there is ample evidence that the top 1% earn more than at any other time in history

Putting that upon Obama is quite the stretch though.. I think he needs to be asked when it will trickle down..and if he believe in trickle down economics..

you can credit President Obama and Hillary Clinton for that, I would encourage her to follow that strategy,” Cruz replied. “Because the simple reality is that’s true for the wealthy.”

“The top 1 percent under President Obama, the millionaires and billionaires that he constantly demagogues, earn a higher share of our income than any year since 1928,” he continued. “Those with power and influence, who walk the corridors of power of the Obama administration, have gotten fat and happy under big government.”

A continuation of the republican attack that Democrats enjoy the power and wealth that comes from government and catering to 'millionaires and billionaires'. Some things never change.
