His own Facebook page hilariously backfires on Senator Cruz

This delicious finding is from Cenk Uygur's newscast, "The Young Turks," reporting on the results of a poll that Ted Cruz initiated on his own Facebook page.   Cruz posed the question: 

"Obamacare was signed into law four years ago.
Are you better off now than you were then?"

The results:    Yes 75.9%          No 24.0%

Now, first, this is Facebook, so there's nothing scientific or representative about it.   Presumably it's an open page and anyone can respond.    And it turns out that early responses were more negative, as you'd expect.  Then two liberal blogs posted the link, and presumably liberals flooded the site with their answers.

But still it's Ted Cruz's own page.   Wouldn't you think that conservatives would do something similar and rev up their side's responses?   Maybe even they are not so convinced anymore that it's such a terrible thing. 

To Cruz's credit, he left it up, and the page has turned into a mini-debate on the question of Obamacare.   So maybe some of his supporters are, for the first time, hearing the other side of the story.   Many of the comments, while undoubtedly true, sound like they were written by an Affordable Care Act p.r. person.  But there are also these:

"I am a staunch Republican, a self-proclaimed Fox News addict, and I didn't vote for the President.   And I'm here to tell you that Obamacare works.  I'm living proof. . . .  I'm a chemotherapy patient . . . [not only am I now saving $350 a month but] It's the best health care I have ever had." 

"My husband lost his job a year ago, my family has been without healthcare since then because of pre-existing conditions and the overwhelming cost.   Thank God for ACA. . . we now have insurance!   All you [Sen. Cruz] want to do is take it away again." 

"I don't have Obamacare, but someone I know who had bad mouthed if for the past four years, recently had to get coverage after her husband recently passed away.  The first words out of her mouth, 'Thank God for Obamacare.'  She is a staunch Republican and believes everything she hears on Fox News.  And those who are saying they won't comply are cutting off their noses to spite their faces.   Wake up !!"

Having Ted Cruz supporters read and debate such positive answers can only be good.  And if this can happen on such a right wing partisan site, isn't this a harbinger of good news to come as we move toward the November election?
