What % of the current illegals do you think will come back after Trump expedites return of the “good ones?”

I posted weeks ago comments by Trump in Iowa saying he supports ethanol “big league.” That’s not a new position for him. Just one of those things that seems to go under the radar, like Trump coming out in favor of Obama opening relations with Cuba this summer.

Yep and the Obamacare type backroom deals where they sell out the people for pork.

Just because Cruz says that the border must be secure first, does not mean he’s for amnesty. He is right. If we don’t secure the border first, then deporting illegals will be useless as more will just sneak across. The border MUST be secured first. It would be like putting a horse into a barn, but not closing the door. The horse would just sneak outside again.

I believe that Cruz will understand how to deal with/react to Trump in the debate, without trying to blowhard against him, but also without mealy-mouthing. The main thing he’ll need to do is reach that happy medium between stating facts and figures and not coming across as a policy wonk which shuts off most people’s brains during these debates. He’ll need to appear serious but not remotely sour or buffoonish (I don’t think Cruz even has “buffoon” in him, despite the best efforts of the lapdog lackey media, which tries to make that buffoon Obama -though a dangerous one, through his hatred of America-look like a rocket scientist).

“Cruz simply told his donors why he thought he would win. He did not make a public attack on Trump. Trump is now going full liberal attack dog on Sen Cruz.”

1. Cruz said much more than he would win, which is to be expected. He questioned Trump’s and Carson’s judgment with handling the trigger. What Cruz said about Trump is probably more severe.

2. The fact that he said it in private means nothing after it was broadcast around the globe.

3. Trump responding in kind is NOT full liberal dog attack. Is he supposed to sit and take it with a smile. What makes you think he would?

4. You may think it was benign, but you can count on it being referenced early in the debate, and probably the first question Trump gets.

5. If someone badmouthed you in a private meeting and it went public, would you be as gracious as you think Trump should be?

Amen. I don’t want to unite with America-hating enemies, for example, radical Muslims (and their “moderate” apologists). I want to expose them then crush them.

How is the Corker bill relevant to Cruz when we know he opposes the Iran deal and will repeal it as President?

Cruz said the same thing about Trump the other day. So that’s that part of the story. I, or we, just don’t want them to say anything that will prevent a team from forming. We need both these guys

Cruz started this tone at the fund raiser. I searched it hoping it wasn’t true. He said trump didn’t have the temperament. You can’t say things like that and stay partners. That’s where it started.

“This is TRUMP’s way of talking. All he is basically saying is that CRUZ’s approach WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL in accomplishing his policy objectives. That’s all.

And TRUMP is right.”

Trump is losing me. First with the stupid ethanol comments, and then this over reaction to one fake poll from Iowa. Trump is leading there in every other poll but he’s going crazy on Cruz because the Marxist paper showed him behind.

Tweet that to him. The more the better. @realDonaldTrump

Also, send it to @DanScavino. He’s a senior advisor to Trump who seemed to be attacking Cruz right after the Cruz private tape was leaked. They need to hear from us because I suspect the GOPE has created dummy accounts to encourage a fight.

“Just because Cruz says that the border must be secure first, does not mean he’s for amnesty. “

Agreed! But when Cruz says he will NOT deport and that he NEVER meant to ‘undo the underlying’ terms of the gang of 8 amnesty and he wants LEGALIZE all aliens....

THAT is amnesty.

CRUZ: Expand legal immigration…double it! 500% increase on H1B Visas. LEGAL status for all illegals…HIS words, short and sweet, in the first minute!

“Killing that bill would’ve been a heavy lift even for master negotiator Trump, right?”

That is completely beside the point. A man of principles, which is what Cruz is heralded as, is supposed to vote based on his principles, not on following the crowd.

Oh, and conservative nonsense is so much better. The liberals have spent 7 years trying to and mostly succeeding in defeating the conservatives.

By the time we spend 8 years getting even, we won’t have a country to worry about. That’s school yard politics, making sure we get even instead of trying to fix this country.

And if Trump wins? What will all the die-hard Cruz supporters do?

Vote for him, of course!

Graham told Trump to ‘go to Hell.’ To think that Trump isn’t as low or lower on the Senate enemies’ list as Cruz is silly.

Trump jumps the shark. I thought it would take longer.
