Texas senator will have a very huge, very classy meeting with Donald Trump so he can benefit from Trump's collapse.
Donald Trump, the billionaire loud-talker whose head resembles a half-rotted cantaloupe, phoned in to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” earlier today to discuss his bigly classy presidential campaign. The “Morning Joe” panelists did a fine job of pretending to treat Trump like a serious human politician, asking for his reaction to the Iran deal (“I could have made so much better a deal”) and once again asking him to defend his bigoted nonsense about Mexican immigrants (“I have hundreds and hundreds of Mexicans working for me. I love the Mexican people”). It was, in most ways, your standard Trump interview: irredeemably stupid.
There was, however, one interesting bit of news that Trump dropped: he confirmed that he is meeting with fellow Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz today, and he’s doing so at Cruz’s request.
TRUMP: Ted Cruz called me, and – I don’t know why I’m meeting him, to be honest. But I do have respect for him. I respect the fact that, along with a couple of others, he came out and he came out very strongly and agreed with what I said on illegal immigration. And he came out very strongly and he came out early. And I respect that. I like him. He called me, he wanted to meet, and we are going to meet. What it’s about, I have absolutely no idea.
Say what you will about Trump, he doesn’t shy away from the fact that the best way to earn his respect is to say nice things about Donald Trump. And, of course, he’s correct: Ted Cruz has been one of the few 2016 candidates to actually defend Trump for disparaging undocumented immigrants....

Of course, illegal wouldn’t fit in the author’s title, which was the ONLY reason why it was dropped...
Trump will endorse Jeb, like he endorsed Romney.
for now....stop the sanctuary cr**.
You funny!
Yes. Cuban Cruz who’s father immigrated is anti immigrant. Hopefully he pummels these lefty wackos.
Politically correct shill?
Trump is the only candidate who unapologetically asserts that America is for the Americans and isn’t communal property that can be claimed by the disease-ridden, illiterate hordes from every third-world shithole in the world.
His father fled Batista and Castro. He didn’t sneak over a border to collect welfare or put up sheetrock.
He reregistered as a Republican to vote for Romney. If you think he would ever endorse Cruz you are extremely gullible. He’s already said he feels sorry for Jeb.
I’m betting he does employ a lot of Mexicans.
The same people who wrote thousands of words to educate us on the delicate distinction between “pedophile” and “ephebophile” now can’t seem to account for the difference between “anti-immigrant” and “anti-illegal-immigrant.”
This is Simon Maloy and Salon. He’s not explaining anything to “us”, he’s playing to Salon’s slavishly Progressive, LIV target demographic.
Donors can’t control him. He is one of a kind.Cruz wisely commended Trump having the fortitude on closing the border. They are allies and respect each other but this wishful fantasy that some how Trump is going away is a waste of dream time. He has not even started yet.
This article demonstrates just how USELESS Salon really is. What is it about obeying the law that Salon does not comprehend??? Their utopian radical leftist agenda just negates the importance of a Republic based on the rule of law.
Liberals.
Trump actually agrees with Cruz on immigration. They may disagree on some issues, but immigration isn’t one of them.
They’re NOT “anti-immigrant”, they’re pro-imigration-law-enforcement!
Every country has at least basic rules requiring immigrants register, be screened for disease & criminal background, and otherwise explain why they’re entering and what they’ll contribute. The USA _does_ have such laws, and just insist those laws be followed.
