Buzzfeed News reported that Heidi Cruz struggled with depression in 2005 when she left her job in the White House and moved to Houston. An adviser to Cruz’s campaign, Jason Miller, said in a statement to Buzzfeed News:
About a decade ago, when Mrs. Cruz returned from D.C. to Texas and faced a significant professional transition, she experienced a brief bout of depression. Like millions of Americans, she came through that struggle with prayer, Christian counseling, and the love and support of her husband and family.
Buzzfeed News also obtained a redacted police report from a September 2005 incident in Austin, Texas, where Heidi Cruz was found sitting in a grassy area in between an onramp and a freeway, with her head in her hands and no sign of a vehicle nearby.
According to the report, the responding officer believed Heidi was a “danger to herself,” and gave her a ride home in his patrol car. Heidi Cruz told police she wasn’t drunk (saying she’d only had sips of Margarita with dinner) and hadn’t taken medication. The officer said he didn’t detect intoxication.

If she wants to be First Lady - then she is fair game.
He has insurance through his wife's employer? What a story! Wow!Ted Cruz is on his wife's Goldman Sachs healthcare plan - reportedly worth $20,000.00 plus per year. So why doesn't Ted want other people to have healthcare under Obamacare?

It is a story when considering his hatred for Obamacare.
Ted Cruz eliminated himself from serious contention for POTUS because of his stance on obamacare.
The ACA at this point is part of the scenery, it can't be removed from the body politic without killing the host.
Ted Cruz' obsession with eliminating it disqualifies him from serious contention.
Republicans need to wake up on this point. The ACA is here to stay
Sorry, I disagree. The claim that it can't be eliminated is utterly groundless. Eliminating it will be far more painless than implementing it.
You think that maybe if we just cry a lot and really loud that someone will come along and fix things for us?
That only happens with children
The ACA is here to stay whether we like it or not.
Wanna guarantee a Republican loss in 2016? Nominate Ted Cruz or some other MORON who promises to dismantle the ACA.

What???? You mean the strategy the Republican party has been following for a few years INS"T WORKING??
LMAO Who'd a thunk it.

You are learning.
Kasich for President.
Meh, who cares? She's not running. You can pretend she is, you can wish she is, but all you're going to do is reveal the very nasty, misogynistic, dark side of the democrat party. Go ahead, attack her all you want.

Since Heidi is an adviser to Commie Cruz' presidential campaign - how will she "advise" him?
It doesn't have to be an attack, it's news. if it sells it's up for grabs. And really, she can put the girls in something other than little red dresses. It's not always Christmas.People were already in the know. It's a public record: Cruz incident reportHer depression is going to be talked about folks. There's a police report out there for the love of God...
Ah, yes, the old journalist's trick, cloak YOUR assertion in "people are saying" gambit.
She lost it. The question is, how's her head these days? If they talked about Hillary's panties, and they did, they're gonna talk about Heidi's depression.
Meh, who cares? She's not running. You can pretend she is, you can wish she is, but all you're going to do is reveal the very nasty, misogynistic, dark side of the democrat party. Go ahead, attack her all you want. You're going to turn off one of your important captive groups, young, single women. Here's a hint for you. Attacking Bubba while Hillary is running won't turn men off in the same way.

And those who stoop to the lowest of the low still have 20 months to stoop even lower.While I'd laugh if Ted got run over by a stampeding herd of rabid rabbits, his wife isn't relevant. And trying to attack him through making her relevant is the lowest of the low. It's like going after a politician's kids going after their spouses.

Unfortunately me thinks him right. What major government policy has ever been rescinded? Prohibition comes to mind but that about the only one I can think of. Obamacare might be transformed but certainly, if track record proves correct, it will never be completely eliminated.

Well, there will certainly be massive resistance to rescinding it, but that isn't because it will be technically difficult to do. It's only because bureaucrats have already built their power bases based on its existence. It's purely a political problem, not a technical or economic problem.

Could, but won't, agreed.
Because it's a non-issue. Any evidence she still suffers from depression? Nope.Wrong. She had an episode of depression.Yup.
Mental illness is not a joke and making fun of it to score political points isn't very funny to me. That's my opinion.
Are you saying Heidi is mentally ill?
According to your article, she suffers from depression. That is a mental illness.
She cured her mental illness. Lakhota, not so much.
Maybe she did maybe she didn't. Depression can often be life long. Why should that make a difference?

I think there is a good chance that it will. There is significant public opposition to obamacare. I think any politician who votes against a repeal does so at his peril, especially if they reimplement the few parts the public likes, such as the elimination of denial for pre-existing conditions. It won't matter what the bureaucrats want.
