Syria and Iraq? The latest murdering terrorist came from Saudi Arabia via Pakistan. They are all the same. A terrorist muslim nation is a terrorist muslim nation.
I am a Cruz supporter but that support has just taken a sledgehammer of a blow.
Giving governors more power over refugees being resettled in their states? Mr. Constitution needs to pull his copy out and look at it again.
Say it ain’t so, Ted. Say it ain’t so!!!!
I am willing to vote for Cruz in the general, and I certainly anticipate that he would be a better POTUS than any of the Republican nominees (there were better candidates) since 1988.
This illustrates the greatest reservation I have about Cruz. Can sufficient ‘peer pressure’ be brought to make him crack and equivocate or compromise. This indicates to me that yes, it can. When he has something to lose, Cruz will play an excessively cautious game, IMO. He -knows- better. But does he truly have the grit? I think not. This is a question about fortitude, not intellect.
Fickle. Maybe examine the evidence before so quickly jumping the Cruz ship.
Ditto. I thought he was tougher than that.
“Syria and Iraq? The latest murdering terrorist came from Saudi Arabia via Pakistan.”
Exactly. Also fake Greek passports are easy to get with a little cash.
Such as this goof?
Charlie Baker: Donald Trump's stance 'completely inappropriate'
Brilliant plan, Ted. /s
Here's what he's officially stated since, I presume, the San Bernardino attack (but can't find a posting date):
"The President should place an immediate moratorium on refugees from countries with a significant al Qaeda or ISIS presence, such as Syria. I've introduced legislation to make this happen; it is not a desired step, but a necessary step for the security of the United States."
Looks as straightforward as his language about immigration -- that illegals are deported when they're apprehended. Illegals are illegals. "Categorically opposed to amnesty." Enforce the laws that exist and deport them. It's as if he doesn't take Trump's bombastic approach, it's assumed he therefore opposes Trump.
Until I read the source at the post, so far it looks like an interpretation of Cruz (and Trump, for that matter) compared to Trump, instead of the men's statements.
About all I can glean from the excerpt at the top is that Cruz might simply reject what the journalists present as Trump's qualifier "until the federal government can ensure that those coming into the nation do not pose a threat to the country."
it could be that Cruz thinks that's the wrong cut-off point. I don't see anything in what's provided to indicate what's being implied, that Cruz is "against" Trump's mission to end these dangerous refugees in the U.S. I'll try later for the Washington Times site.
