I like Cruz though I think Trump is a better choice, but I have to admit you might be right.
I am skeptical in that Cruz supporters keep pointing to things he's "called for" but hasn't seemed able to accomplish.
Let’s see, Ted was hawking the McCain immigration plan in 2013. Did you know as part of that deal he wanted to double the number of Mexican immigrants we allow in each year? Ted’s thought was that we didn’t already have enough Mexican’s up here. Wow!
He’s F’d up on H-1Bs. He couldn’t figure that one out until a couple of weeks ago. He didn’t want a wall according to another ass-hat M2T supporter, and now he does.
Nah, Ted isn’t the M2T candidate. LMAO
“What this nation needs is to start winning again.”
Desperation. Ted’s coming unglued. Not only is the dirt coming out on him, he’s now being seen as a flip-flooper, something you folks said you’d never support.
65,000 H-1Bs to 325,000 H-1Bs? Now he’s flip-flopped and wants to study the issue. LMAO, the rest of us knew this was a f’d up idea and we’re not even in the Senate.
Ted’s a day late and a dollar short. Again.
You know, this gotcha stuff is fun. Why I held of going after Mr. M2T until now, I don’t know.
I am now though, so enjoy. What goes around comes around, and this is the perfect time to focus on the guy whose followers couldn’t take a hint.
Trump toadies have a collective hissy fit when Cruz supporters say a discouraging word on any thread about their reality-TV-star-turned-presidential-candidate, opportunistic, fair-haired boy. And here you have a display of how they write completely different rules for themselves. A perfect example of Trump idolaters.
Cruz' greatest accomplishment to date is exposing the Republican leadership in the Senate and their corruption of the legislative process.
The price of that accomplishment, though, is that Cruz will never be allowed to create and pass any meaningful legislation.
That's false. McCain wanted citizenship amnesty.
Did you know that Trump was hawking a legalization amnesty in July 2015?
"And then the other ones- and I'm a very big believer in merit system, I have to tell you, "Trump said. "Because some of these people have been here, they've done a good job, you know, in some cases sadly they've been living under the shadows."
"We have to do something," he continued. "So whether it's merit or whether it's whatever, but I'm a believer in the merit system. If somebody's been outstanding, we try and work something out."

I'd be much more impressed by him if he'd actually been able to get something done about it.
I don't think exposing things we already knew were going on, even if we didn't know exactly how they were doing it, is particularly noteworthy.
When Rush Limbaugh exposed the House Bank Scandal, he managed to get it eliminated, and he wasn't even a member of the body.
Cruz still isn’t planning on sending them out of the nation as we speak here.
Tell me again who is more solid on the issue.
Now, as for what McCain wanted, lets get something straight right now. Cruz wants to give every illegal alien legal status. He somehow imagines this could be done without giving them citizenship.
Once they get legal status, the ACLU, La Raza, MEChA, and every other illegal alien advocate will file suit against the federal government stating that it is racist not to give them the same right every other green card holder has.
Cruz is supposed to be a smart guy. He doesn’t know this? Sure he does. So he can hiss and moan and say he doesn’t, but it won’t be one year before these folks are fast tracked to citizenship.
Statements otherwise aren’t worth the air it will take to express them.
That's false, I posted links documenting Cruz wanting a wall going back to 2011.
...according to another ass-hat M2T supporter, and now he does.
LOL. That's fine calling yourself an ass-hat, but you're the ass when you start referring to other posters that way.
IMO, Cruz’s biggest accomplishment so far has been blinding his idiotic followers to the fact he hasn’t been as Conservative as they think he has.
The 2007 McCain/Kennedy immigration plan?
Ted’s plan in 2013 looked almost identical.

Other than what you want to infer, I see nothing wrong with what he said.
We've been through this before.
Cruz is for full enforcement thru deportations and removals. It says exactly that in his written plan.
Trump has been saying that he wants to expedite the good ones back in. That's a legalization amnesty.
For the subliminally challenged, I don’t support M2T.
You do. Remember? You do remember right?
These Cruz stories tend to make me hysterical at the end of the day. I'm like an overtired baby and they totally crack me up. Will I be able to get to sleep now, or keep perking like a coffeepot?
Sounds good in principle. And if they were all huddled in one football stadium you could do that. But they aren’t. And Islamic terrorists metamorphisize into new groups with new sources of funding all the time. Enter 20+ year boots-on-ground war.
Good luck spinning your own team’s statements.
Look for the statement regarding Cruz adding a wall because of people like me.

It does seem at least possible Cruz made a political calculation he could win the Presidency by really getting the conservative base behind him while still playing "the game."
If you can read, try reading this.
Cruz was for giving the illegals green cards to work.
Says right there ace. Either he has flip-flopped, thus making him ineligible to folks like you who hate flip-floppers, or his plan isn’t what you think it is.

Wow. Weird post.
And of course I never said that you supported Cruz, proving again that you are reality challenged.
I would prefer that the Congress vote a Declaration of War immediately. I thought that we had a majority in both houses.
Then we can see what Obama would do. Can he veto a D of W?
While I support Trump over Cruz, either is so far ahead of Hillary that she is not even visible behind them.
What's wrong with that?
