"So, you’re saying he’s agreeing with Trump."

Actually, I think you'll see that Trump is agreeing with Cruz. Senator Cruz has been saying this long before Trump started.

I doubt that Cruz would of been so bold on the campaign trail if he was the nominee. He’s still a Bush disciple despite what you purist conservatives think of him.

Wrong. This was Cruz's position last December:

Ted Cruz: ‘I do not agree’ with Trump’s Muslim moratorium

This is what he just said on the senate floor:

The legislation I have introduced, which I would urge this body to take up, would impose a 3-year moratorium on refugees coming from any nation where ISIS or Al Qaeda or radical Islamic terrorists control a substantial portion of the territory.

Cruz is playing catch-up (once again) with Trump. That was Cruz's biggest problem in the primaries. Trump would take a hard line stance. Cruz would criticize Trump as being too extreme. Then, when everyone realized Trump was gaining support for his hard line stance, Cruz would change his position and become "Mr. Me Too."

From illegal immigration, to the wall, to the Muslim ban, to trade, Cruz became "Mr. Me Too" in relation to Trump.

No, Cruz was not saying it first:

No he hasn’t. He supported more “refugees” and no Muslim ban.

“Actually, I think you’ll see that Trump is agreeing with Cruz. Senator Cruz has been saying this long before Trump started.”

Then why was Cruz so opposed to the moratorium Trump talked about?

Nope, Trump said it first - just like he talked about deportation and a wall first.

M2T strikes again.

Which is fine, if he would give credit for copying.
