Richard Burr of North Carolina, told supporters at a campaign fundraiser for his own re-election that he would vote for liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders for president before Cruz, according to one person who attended the event. Burr did not appear to be joking, said the person, who demanded anonymity to discuss the private gathering.

GOPe pretty much gave their full support to Trump when they agreed to not run attack ads against him, then honored that promise while he ran endless attacks against them. If you had any doubt about the pledge being the bending of the knee, the GOP using what little muscle they had to ensure the debates were in a Trump-friendly format (lots of people, ridiculous softball questions) should also be considered. They're either playing 12 dimensional chess (and losing), or are the most profoundly incompetent force in politics today. Every dollar spent not attacking Trump right now is a dollar spent helping Trump get the nom, and they have spent zero dollars attacking him

Far from leaving the Texas market, they are one of the biggest in the State. BCBS in a lot of states priced out a lot of the smaller guys in previous years then jacked up their rates this year. BCBS also auto-renews you in new plans if your current plan is no longer offered, unless you specifically opt-out.

He's dropping that factoid, he thinks, close enough to the caucus that it gets him some votes, but with not enough time to vet the fact that he's actually on his wife's billions of taxpayer bailout funded gold cadillac healthcare plan. He's pumping everything into not losing Iowa, but he's absolutely wrecked for anything else.
