How about abolishing the laws we don’t like. Getting Conservative Justices and Judges through. There are some good things in DC that could get done without spending. Although Cruz wouldn’t be effective anyway.

If Cruz wins the election, a Republican Senate is not going to stop Cruz's conservative justices.

Oh, I’m all in for Ted Cruz. He’s the only PROVEN ANTI-establishment, Constitutional Christian Conservative. It’s his track record that sold me....I just wish he weren’t so “stiff”, although sometimes, I kind of like his preachy/lawyerly way he talks and I love his humor.

Rush just said that Steve Schmidt GOPe extraordinaire is rooting for Cruz in Iowa so that Trump can be stopped. If you really want to know what the GOPe thinks listen to Schmidt. Don’t forget the Trump firewall in South Carolina.

You said it all right there, Go Cruz.

Told my hubby, Cruz bested Trump in that debate. Cruz using the courtroom tactics, make Trump respond and say things Cruz can now use going forward, it's working.

My point in all this is: Trump says Everyone Hates Cruz, especially all of Washington & the Establishment!!! Oh My gosh, how horrible is that/sarc & ROFL.

Trump just endorsed Cruz for President., and a GREAT CRUZ AD to use. Cruz AD: WASHINGTON & the GOPe HATES CRUZ....and the problem is what exactly???

Thanks. My heart really never left home, my heart was TED CRUZ all the way, BUT I tried to find some reality in the mix and it was looking like a Trump win all the way..and I want to WIN.

Cruz is just plain BRILLIANT, even liberals confess that FACT....now Trump knows it.

Ted Cruz to the White House.........Happy New Year in 2017.

Luke 8:17
For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.

Seems to be happening....but some are still blind.

Don't forget all the FReepers that posted that immigration is their ONLY issue, over and over.

But when you point out Trump's "touchback" amnesty, they insist that all of the illegals will go to the back, of the line, that they will only be given work visas and not green cards, that their families will not be allowed in, etc. - Even though they have nothing other than their own hopes to back those ideas up. Trump has said with his own mouth that the "good" illegals will be expedited back into the country.

So Trump is just as much a part of the "Cheap Labor Express" as Bush, Rubio or any other GOPe candidate. He wants to go about it a little differently, but with the same ultimate outcome - millions of low-paid, low-skill workers for the CoC, only this time the employers can't be fined, and the workers can eventually become Dem voters.

Yes, and love your tagline......along that I have been praying for a long time that GOD will raise up such a man as David to kill the Goliath. I believe that MAN to be is TED CRUZ.....

The Lord can handle the one obstacle in his way as HIS PERFECT WILL, will be done.......

Did you hear Trump was at Liberty College, among Christian Students.......and he started and quoted scripture, and said "2" Corinthians then started reading the verse.........then asked the audience "is that the one you want, or along those lines.......

Everyone is now making fun of this faux Christian, no one says 2 Cornthians....no one. It is Second Corinthians. Heard all this on Rush today.

Don is now doing Spiritual battle with the Lord? Don? here's a clue.........you lose. He has already twisted your egotistical tongue out of shape and you will stumble going forward now.

As you always say; "True" "it's True" "True" "unbelievable, but True".....

For a man who claims he never has to ask for forgiveness...that’s not someone I would want for President, let alone, someone I think God would put in place to lead a nation. But that’s just my opinion. ;)

Update: Trump and Cruz both refer to the same immigration planner for guidance now: Senator Jeff Sessions. [according to kabar].

Clarification. Trump had turned to Sessions long before Cruz who had a recent conversion politically. So, maybe the accusations against Trump are exaggerated? Sessions might clear that up soon.

‘Rubio is an anchor baby ...’

An anchor baby has no US parents. Cruz supporters would call that ‘fighting words’.

Here are ‘quick-notes’ on Cruz eligibility ...

~~~

[I’m no lawyer, but even lawyers have trouble with this — it’s a specialty topic.]

But we’ve been able to boil it down to two major points ...

1. Original intent. No matter what original intent you look at, Cruz is not eligible.

— Some say ‘must have mother and father — US citizens when overseas.

— Some say ‘must at least have US father when overseas’

— Some insist you must be born in the US.

~~~

2. Women Equal.

Now for the ‘women equal’ argument.

As you know, women are treated as equally as possible in the courts these days. That’s what Cruz is banking on — why can’t a mother alone make him qualify?

— But that is not original intent. So while it wins in court, it fails to end the controversy.

~~~

It would be a good idea to empathetic toward Cruz supporters because we will need their help not only after the primary but after the election. Some of them are wicked-smart, and all of them seek advice from wicked-smart people. But this issue has been confusing for almost everyone up ‘til now.

~~~

One counter-point to address ...

Even if courts invoke the 14th Amendment, that was debunked by Greetings Puny Humans, not a genuine intepretation:

The problem is Cruz will not be able to get a thing passed. In fact, I could see the Congress going into a complete stand down for his term or terms.

Recalculate: Deep, wide, Conservative TEA party coattails.

Update on Immigration debate. Kabar informed me that Cruz is having second thoughts about his immigration policy and turning to Trump’s advisor on the matter — Senator Jeff Sessions.

So ... who is the super-villain here?

While Mexico pays for the Wall, congress will need to do something else he wants. You bet. We need good dealmakers.
