Lame answer of the week!

[thewayne]

Well, of last week.

CNBC's John Harwood:
"...L.B.J. created Medicare in the mid-60s. Your hero Ronald Reagan campaigned vigorously against that, saying it would lead to socialized medicine, would end liberty in the United States. Who was right: L.B.J. or Reagan?"

Sen. Ted Cruz:
"It's not worth tilting at windmills. I don't know. I wasn't alive then..."

And there's so many other questions this answer can be applied to! Social Security, Women's Vote, Equal Rights, wow!

He can't say what he's thinking because he knows as much as the rest of us do how popular Medicare is. So instead of speaking his belief that Reagan was right and the Affordable Care Act is the socialism Reagan wanted us about, he deflects the question. If Cruz can manage this level of elusiveness until the nomination, he might just get it.
