Ted Cruz: I’ll Destroy ISIS, Obamacare, and Turn the IRS into a Trump Hotel
For those who have been following Ted Cruz, it should come as no surprise that he has a rather challenging relationship with reality. He was named Politifact’s biggest liar in both 2013 and 2014, no small feat, given his Republican competition. But that difficulty understanding reality isn’t just about facts. It is becoming increasingly apparent from Ted Cruz’s stump speeches that he is peddling a fictitious version of how the presidency actually works.
The latest example came this week, when Ted Cruz skipped President Obama’s final State of the Union speech to give a State of the Union of his own. On Tuesday in New Hampshire, Ted Cruz delivered a fake State of the Union to detail the fake accomplishments his fake presidency will have achieved in 2018. And those fake accomplishments are absolutely nuts.
Ted Cruz believes that by 2018, just one year into his fake presidency, he will have destroyed the IRS, Obamacare, ISIS, and the Iran nuclear deal. The IRS, a federal agency over 150 years old, will be abolished so quickly into Cruz’s fake presidency that “months” will pass until the Cruz administration has “finally auctioned off the IRS building to the public,” selling it to Donald Trump so that he can build a new Trump Hotel where the building used to stand. Instead of the IRS, we’ll have a regressive flat tax that fits on a post card. That fake tax will be plenty sufficient to fund Ted Cruz’s fake military campaign that has destroyed ISIS, because Ted Cruz says it will.
As for Obamacare: we know that 50+ repeal votes have been unsuccessful over the past six years, and there have been no real Republican proposals to replace it. But that means nothing to Cruz, because he’ll not only have the Affordable Care Act repealed, he’ll have it replaced within a year. Those 18 million people who have gained health insurance coverage under the ACA? They’ll be even more satisfied under Cruz’s fake plan, because Ted Cruz says they will.
