It's already too late
for Ted Cruz.
He now has enrolled
his family into Obamacare
and according to the White House
he's overcome his 21-hour-filibuster
of the Affordable Care Act
and actually likes it.
How will he be reconciling
his benefiting
from government-sponsored health care
with his very recent pledge
to "repeal every word"
of the law?
Perhaps by changing his stance
on this issue?
Or maybe
just like a petty cartoon villain
by keeping it for himself
and not letting
anyone else have it
because certainly
his constituents
don't believe in entitlements.
