I have yet to speak on this because I have generally viewed both Trump & Cruz as a vacation in the French Riviera after 8 years of the Islamocommie reign. Cruz back when he was running for senate and attending many grassroots events often in Houston, declined to sign our petitions to get a ballot measure to overturn sanctuary city. He was asked again via his staff about this from other activists helping to get signatures, to no avail. At the time we needed 20K signers and looking back knowing the forces we were up against it probably would have come to naught-i.e. protracted litigation. Ted Cruz however did sign off on a common core petition presented to him on the campaign trail.

Thanks for sharing that; very interesting.

I’ve come to the conclusion that like all of us, politicians are not perfect. We have some posting on this forum that demand 100% conservative perfection. If the candidate isn’t perfect, then they’re deemed a liberal or RINO, or something else. Don’t get me wrong, we do indeed have RINOs, but we can certainly draw conclusions as to who has the nations best interests at heart, even if they aren’t perfect.

Trump, Cruz...heck, even Carson would be a dramatic improvement to the Marxist, Queer we currently have degrading the White House. Sadly, we have some who will only vote for their candidate (most Cruz supporters on this forum); no other is deemed worthy enough to meet their 100% perfection criteria. So, on election night they’ll sit home having their pathetic pity party.

Very interesting, Thanks. I’m not shocked at all Cruz did not “lead the fight” to stop sanctuary cities because as far as I can tell he was a careerist mainline GOPe conservative pre 2010 TEA revolution.

Sadly, I’ve come to see Cruz as the biggest “campaign conservative” of them all due to his running against the “Washington Cartel” while being a member of it.

How interesting. Ted had no problem signing Grover Norquist’s ‘pledge’, which is nothing more than an oath to all things Norquist...open borders, amnesty, more Muslim/3rd world immigration. If you oppose it, a candidate finds himself with Norquist & crew taking them out.
Trump has not signed it, and hopefully he will not.
