Ted Cruz asks Republicans to embrace the fictional ’47 percent dependent on government’

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is calling on Republicans to court “the 47 percent who are dependant on government,” a false statistic that may have been one of the reasons former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election.
