❝ Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was asked an unexpected question Tuesday by a woman. The video of his reply has gone viral.
❝ The video uploader, who identified herself as Tammy Talpas, first explained that she was really worried about missing out on healthcare benefits because she had seven pre-existing conditions.
“If you force me into a high-risk pool, you will either bankrupt me or kill me,” she said. “I take these threats of medical aggression personally and seriously, and I can assure you I’m not the only Texan who does. My question is: Will you pledge to submit to a DNA test to prove that you’re human?”

“New Quinnipiac poll shows tight Texas Senate race between Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke” https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/18/politics/ted-cruz-beto-orourke-poll/index.html “…The election is a crucial midterm race, with Republicans attempting to hold on to, if not grow, a razor-thin 51-49 seat advantage in the Senate. Texas is a historically red state, where Democrats haven’t won a statewide election since 1994 and a US Senate race since 1988.”

Just as a sidelight…Quinnipiac College was one of the three co-defendants in the class action suit I participated in albeit 40 years ago or so…against illegal wiretapping by the FBI. A successful suit…part of why the Feds mostly go by the book, nowadays.
