Rubio was a founding/proud member of the gang of eight. Ted Cruz fought the gang of eight. End of story.
I support Trump for president. You, and any other Cruz detractor need to grow up. Trump’s past positions make him look like a poster boy for many liberal positions. I’m hoping age has made him a better man with more wisdom and I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. You should be doing the same thing for Ted Cruz because only a juvenile would argue that Ted Cruz as president or vice would be a bad thing for this country right now!
It’s interesting how Trumpophiles only attempt to tear down their opponents rather than building up their chosen candidate.
I suspect it’s quite difficult to make someone with such a long and distinguished history of liberal positions look appealing to the conservative base.
It’s far easier to tear down the competition with sophomoric spin and disingenuous interpretation of motives then try and justify Trumps support of Kelo, Single payer healthcare, Ethanol subsidies, Planned Parenthood, confiscatory taxes on the rich, opposition of Medicare/Social Security reform and donations to Democrat campaigns/causes.
Can’t blame em I guess.
Sessions and Lee also supported the amendment. Think they are pro-amnesty too? Sorry, doesn’t wash. Cruz helped kill the bill with that attempted amendment.
While Ted Cruz is my #2 man after Trump; I am well aware that he’s the consumate politician. The reason I have him as #2 is because, after Trump, he’s the only pro-America, pro-Constitution candidate out there.
He is really slick at parsing words, and speaking in double switchbacks, so you really have to pay close scrutiny or he’ll slide something past you.
Tuesday night in his arguement with Rubio, I thought Cruz did a switchback regarding his position on citizenship. He declared that he was NEVER for citizenship for illegals.
What does that mean? That he will only approve citizenship for them AFTER they’ve been given amnesty? Or does he mean he’s O.K. with citizenship for LEGAL residents by declaration, whether they go through Naturalization or not?
Either case is unacceptable with me. My only hope is that if he rubs shoulders with President Trump for at least 4 years, it will wean him away from some of the weasely ways of a politician. Unless the politician in him is so ingrained in him that he’s like a dog that chases cars. It’s impossible to break a dog from chasing cars.
Or if he is made AG, or goes to the SCOTUS, The problem is lessened......unless he starts legislating from the bench.
The main problem with Cruz is his love of H1B’s and support for TPP when it was safe. Only when Trump came out against TPP did Cruz switch.
Rubio at the time said the bill (gang of 8) wasn’t amnesty.
So Cruz proposed adding an amendment to make it impossible for anyone caught illegally to ever become a citizen and Rubio then balked at that amendment. An Amendment that was also worked on by Jeff Session by the way.
Cruz was trying some political gaming to hold Rubio to what he claimed about the gang of 8 bill and Rubio balked.
Remember Rubio WORKED with Chucky Schmucky SCHUMER on the Gang of 8 bill.
You are not going to convince the Cruz supporters, and everyone else already knows that facts.
I will go with the stalwart conservative senators who have backed up Ted Cruz.
I don’t really know why this is so hard, either.
To this day you can’t get Cruz to enforce the law, if and when it includes deportation methods. And, it does.
Anybody know where Cruz ever got serious about consequences?
I know he came up with the matinee title to what the heck he was doing, the so-called “poison pill” performance, but it’s a hard sell when you follow what he said afterward, and even after, “afterward”.
This is just not news. We knew this already. Unfortunately, it’s on video LIVE TV everywhere. With audio. Sheeez.
Yeah I am going to believe you before Sessions and Limbaugh. Are you that stupid?. Pimp your blog elsewhere
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
