"If confirmed, she would give the Democrats a majority at the FCC that would enable them to impose a radical left-wing agenda, including investment-killing and job-killing so-called net neutrality rules, otherwise known as Obamacare for the Internet," Cruz said.

This is complete nonsense and I fail to believe he isn’t aware of that.

It doesn't need to make sense. Just vaguely associate the good thing with the bad trigger words and you've done all you need to do to convince the kind of people who think he's on their team.

Yet if he called it the affordable care act but for the internet he'd probably see an opposite reaction. People like their ACA. Years ago they found, people liked the ACA but not Obamacare. It's just that they didn't know they were one in the same. But they bought into the bogeyman scare tactics. Cruz knows what he's doing and it's definitely evil, again.
