From the Cruz site:
—Border security is national security. We need to secure the border once and for all. We need to stop Obama’s amnesty and enforce the rule of law. And we need to reform legal immigration to protect American workers.
—It’s not that we don’t know how to solve illegal immigration. What is missing is the political will to get it done. As President, Ted Cruz will do what he says. He will stop illegal immigration. He will build a wall that works, triple border security, and put in place the surveillance and biometric tracking to secure the border.
—Ted Cruz will end Obama’s amnesty on day one, will end catch-and-release, increase deportations, stop sanctuary policies, and strengthen E-verify.
—In order to protect our national security and serve American workers, he will suspend and audit H-1B visas and halt any increase in legal immigration so long as American unemployment remains unacceptably high.
—Cruz led the fight in Congress to defeat the Gang of Eight amnesty bill, he has introduced strong legislation to stop illegal immigration, and he has outlined a detailed immigration plan to protect Americans.
yes!!!
I have not always spoken graciously, and I PROMISED i would not become part of this “arguing nonsense” way back when lol.
I didn’t know it would get so intense.
And how is he going to do that?........just deporting ‘criminal’ illegal aliens will cost about $41 Billion. How's he going to deport the 10 million other illegals. You don't think those 10 million will march in protest? and at worse resist in other ways?
As I see it the only way is to cut the benefits....and see how many self deport...if that's even possible to do.
Still clinging to the polls eh?
Say, how did that 11 point lead in Iowa work out for Trump? The point is, Trump has simply not invested in the cutting edge analytical tools needed to win an election like Ted Cruz has. Nor has Trump built anything close to the massive ground game and organization at the states level that Cruz has. And he is not prepared to do the retail politics of campaigning in small towns and communities across the states like Cruz does. For example, Cruz campaigned in every single on of the 99 counties in Iowa. That takes a lot of hard work and stamina. I am not sure old man Trump is even capable of that. He just keeps flying his big plane into these big urban centers to hold rallies there and that’s it. He is not gonna win that way . But hey, keep clinging to your polls. We will see who wins in the SEC states won’t we?
I agree with your comments quite a bit.
It is almost offensive though, and let me explain.
From my perspective and the perspective of a lot of Trump supporters, the Cruz folks came on the forum on Tuesday morning thinking they had been given license to trash anything in site.
There were threads with 20 posts in them and only about four of them from Trump supporters, and the comments were vicious. It resembled more than anything else, a roving gang on the forum.
I wouldn’t respond that way. I tried to set a tone of decency on the FR Caucus results Caucus page that night.
When that didn’t work, I responded with a graphic that really upset Cruz supporters. To this moment, they still have no idea why I did that. I see absolutely no ability whatsoever for the Cruz folks to exhibit being introspective. Even a smidgen of would be a step in the right direction.
Use the link below to see my congenial note to the Cruz supporters on Monday night.
I have seen nothing that resembles this attitude from the Cruz folks.
And so now when you urge the Trump folks to reign in it after the way the Cruz folks acted, it’s just insulting.
Talk to the Cruz folks if you want to see some real changes here. The negativity coming out of those folks is disgusting.
Look at the volume of negative flimsy posts from them constantly, repeating the same idiotic premises hundreds of times, even though they have been addressed.
I appreciate what you are trying to do, but you are addressing the wrong team.
Where was the concern that the Cruz folks might need Trump votes at some point on Tuesday morning?

That looks pretty good and thanks but here’s where with all respect he got Trumped: Trump set the marker to furthest right…deportation. Notice the media isn’t pressing him on it? Because it’a popular widely. They tried to kill Trump on the deportation and it looks like he survived because people want illegals deported. It has to be done.
I do like where Ted talks about increasing deportation but the marker needs to be set: full deportation of all illegals or as many as possible. We need to man up and get them out.
They will react to being deported however they will react. Law enforcement will have to be clever and ruthless. Sorry, they’re here illegally. We have to get nationalist. It’s probably too late but we can damn well try. That’s what our taxes should be spent on. Gotta send the message, play time is over.
No, I am hearing the Cruz votes will broadly go to Rubio, if Iowa is an indication.
Tracking the way Rubio has risen, it seems to appear that side by side with the individual fluctuations, that some of his numbers may be coming from TRUMP.
TRUMP may be forced to put Rubio on his ticket to stop Cruz.
Scarborough was hearing rumblings out of DC Establishment about such a possibility, maybe. But, TRUMP is not beholden to what they think they want, so who knows.
Gloating has always been in the eye of the beholder. All summer we were having fun, not gloating. Cruz supporters saw it all as gloating, by choice, imho.
Many, many of us were not even following Cruz, or Cruz threads. All the fun for us was on TRUMP threads. Then we saw the rise exponentially of troll remarks on our threads, and began to fire back. Now it is full on war. Sadly.
Cruzers have never had any fun and have now made sure no one else has any either. It’s been pathetic, I know that.
But should you be correct, I will try to remember it, if you will put libbylu in the closet. HA! What a hate machine, that one.
DITTO all of that and throw in his now known dirty tricks and lies. Also I can’t stand his awful voice.
You're confusing!
I should have linked you to the comments I made to a post you linked me to.
the truth is, I DO believe that he is still for some amnesty AND bringing in 100s of 1,000s of H-1Bs.
Good grief!!
Turn that post of yours around and see exactly what you sound like.
Everything you accused Trump supporters of being, you perfectly proved your own self to be guilty of :(
He went to the border with Beck and welcomed a horde of INVADING ILLEGAL ALIENS and handed out teddy bears and soccer balls to them.
Actions speak louder than words.
Border security is national security.
...and a list of other nice things....
You can find a similar list on Representative Mia Love's web page....
....but she voted for Bohner and voted for everything Obama wanted.
So I was originally impressed with Cruz as a great Texan and Senator...
But like Mia Love, .... actions count stronger than web site bullet points...and Cruz has generated enough questions
from forgetting he was born in Canada,
forgetting the CitiBank and Goldman Sacks loans
forgetting his involvement in a private investment with a college buddy
and sending out a fake "Voter Assessment"
and claiming Carson quit the campaign
So I am now not so impressed with Cruz
Trump reacts, he doesn't attack first.
And it has been YOU and your ilk, who have stalked, harassed, insulted, impugned, and lied about him and his supporters.
You're doing it now!
“.....and enforce the rule of law. And we need to reform legal immigration to protect American workers. “..... >>
********************
Therein is the Cruz “catch”. The Rule of Law. I saw him on TV say last week, it may have been LIVE or video, but he was asked twice about what he would do with illegals already here.
He answered: “ I will enforce Federal Law, a law which says if you are “caught” you will be deported.”
Period.
Think about that for a minute. He deports no one but fellons. Shell game. It’s called, Cheap Labor Express.
And what do we need comprehensive reform for, with laws on the books, already. Current laws on the books if enforced would throw their illegal invader butts out, and slam shut the border, and start over. Just like TRUMP intends.
Cruz wants to get in the damn dangerous weeds of “reforming” legal immigration. What the hell for? For the Cheap Labor Express.
The USA decides who, where and how many. Period. What’s to change, unless you’re covering for the Cheap Labor Express, that’s what.
