Kasich is WORSE on the illegals. He doesn’t want to solve anything. He’s totally pro cheap labor to undermine US workers, because he’s been bought and paid for by big-corporation interests. It’s impossible to dislike Rubio because he disagrees with us but tries to solve the problem but like Kasich who’s all in for cheap labor and invaders being accepted with open arms.

Hence :
Ted Cruz Is Right -- Mitch McConnell Lied
JULY 25, 2015
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) offered an amendment to the highway bill yesterday that reauthorizes the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im), a corporate welfare program that forces American taxpayers to secure loan guarantees for foreign companies.
Thankfully, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke out against this betrayal on the Senate floor yesterday in a speech that every conservative must watch.
Senator Cruz said that Senator McConnell lied to him when he denied having cut a secret deal with the Democrats to reauthorize Ex-Im.
Senator Cruz is right.
McConnell lied to him and to all Americans.
Senator McConnell clearly does not share conservative or even Republican values.
Since he became the Majority Leader, he has passed bill after bill that were favored by more Democrats than Republicans.
He says he has gotten the Senate working again, but he's put it to work for the Democrats and lobbyists.
His strategy has not only failed to secure any conservative policy victories,
it's also driven his party's favorability ratings into the ground.
A new Pew Research survey shows that only 32% of Americans have a favorable view of the Republican Party,a nine-point drop since January.
These numbers are sinking largely because Republican voters disapprove of their party's leaders.
In fact, another Pew survey done back in May showed that 75% of Republicans believe their party's leaders should be doing more to challenge President Obama.
Senator Mitch McConnell's obsession with passing liberal bills is giving all Republicans a bad name.
NEXT STEPS
Senator McConnell offered the Ex-Im amendment, blocked other amendments by filling the "amendment tree""- - a procedural tactic he criticized Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) for using
- - and then filed cloture on the bill to end debate.
The debate will stretch out into this coming week and it will be important that conservatives engage in it by making targeted calls to key senators.
Senators Cruz and Mike Lee (R-UT) have some procedural tricks of their own
and we need to make sure the other Republicans stand with them
to get votes on issues that are important to conservatives
and to do everything we can to defeat the highway bill.
Please do not get discouraged.
Many Americans are beginning to see that the problem in Washington is not just one party,
but a Washington cartel made up of the leaders in both parties, the media, and lobbyists
who abuse taxpayers for their own interests.
This is an essential first step to electing true conservatives like Senators Cruz and Lee
who will stand up to the liberals in both parties.
Thank you for standing strong for freedom.
We'll keep fighting!
Sincerely,
Ken Cuccinelli II

Oh, I don’t like Kasich one bit. His positions are repellant to me.
I trust him. I wouldn’t trust that Rubio means anything that he says.

I'll get you started:
I researched "Kasich and Common Core" on Bing. Pages of references came up. Two of them:
Huffington Post 1/25/2015 "Kasich Calls out Conservatives who oppose Common Core
Breibart: Kasich: "Conservative Resistance to Common Core is Hysteria"
Then I tried "Kasich and Illegal Immigration". Same thing lots of sources where he supports invaders "rights".
Try it. Kasich is Jeb's political clone.

I trust him (Kasich)
Kasich bare-*ssed lied to conservatives to get elected as Governor the first time. The second time, the Dem nominee wasn't properly vetted, and was a pathetic joke. Kaisch TOTALLY let down small-government and social/Constitutional conservatives.

The text of the TPP is published. It's not "classified".
It was classified and under guard during the TPA battle. Some Senators were allowed to se parts of it, but they were not allowed to take notes or even disclose any part of it.

We aren’t talking about the TPP you nut, the discussion is about Fast Track Authority, which Cruz admitted voting for.

And what does that have to do with Cruz voting for Fast Track Authority on the Free Trade Bill?

As opposed to now, that you still neglect to mention.

I’m not hiding behind a thing, since I know how Cruz voted, and you do not.

As opposed to now, that you still neglect to mention.
And your point is exactly what?

My point is, if you didn’t know it was published, then . . . .
To: 1rudeboy
Does Cruz know how he voted, because he says that he voted for Fast Track.

Good question. It would make two who do not know.
