Click on the first hit. It’s written by the Congressional Research Service. In my opinion, the next President will put a halt to what is has been pretty much a rubber stamp process. Is it any wonder the judiciary, especially in Democratic controlled states are so liberl? Cruz is the only candidate that will fight for conservative judges in the US District Courts.
You are welcome; and I do appreciated your interest in asking for information backing up my statement. It’s an indication of your intellectual honesty.
The Clinton administration prevented the CIA and the FBI from communicating intelligence. That was largely responsible for 9/11.
Forget the labels. Trump is a conservative on the issues that matter most, i.e., national security, immigration, trade, and fiscal prudence.
Cruz has accomplished nothing while in the Senate, He is a grandstanding, first term gadfly who is a pariah among his own colleagues. Should the remote possibility of Cruz being in the WH happen, he will have to compromise and make deals in order to get something accomplished. It is great being the maverick and the rebel as a senator, but not as President.
Too late Colonel the tribe has spoken. :-)
Trump thought TARP was great and didn’t go far enough. Yeah, that’s real conservative.
Trump thinks Hillary was a great Secretary of State. I guess you do, too, since you support Trump.
Trump is for touchback immigration reform. That’s conservative?
Trump has not stated any details about his security stance other than to say it would be great. Isn’t past time for him to articulate a few details? Reality is, he doesn’t have clue. On top of that, he thinks Putin is a gret guy. Just more arrogance nd hot air from Trump.
I agree, but Republicans did control the legislative branch for a good period of time while Clinton was in office, so they bear some portion of the responsibility for what was going on.
Republicans did not control the Clinton administration, and it was the Clinton administration that put up the barriers between the CIA and FBI as is related to foriegn intelligence.
Congress has a zillion “oversight” committees that are supposed to be helping keep the executive branch in check. I agree that Clinton and his gang are the main culprits, but Congress does bear some share of responsibility when the executive branch does stupid things.
As if Clinton ever cared about following the law. He was certinly no Obama in that area.
Trump is a private citizen. He had no vote on the issue. Guess who voted for TARP? TARP was proposed top-down by the Bush Administration and passed on a bipartisan basis by the Democratically-controlled 110th Congress. In the House, 171 Democrats and 91 Republicans voted for it. In the Senate 40 Democrats, 33 Republicans and 1 Independent voted for it.
Paul Ryan voted for it. The Rep House and Senate leadership voted for it. Bush signed it.
Trump thinks Hillary was a great Secretary of State. I guess you do, too, since you support Trump.
Trump has called her the worst Secretary of State except maybe Kerry since he negotiated the Iran deal.
Trump is for touchback immigration reform. That’s conservative?
Wrong. Do you any idea what touch-back amnesty is? Do you know who originated it? Do you know the details of how a touch-back amnesty would work? I do having worked on the immigration issue for nine years as a member of grassroots immigration gropu that lobbies on the Hill.

What kind of details are you talking about? Give me an example.
Thank you and I accept.
I am believing we’re being tempted. Nations face the ‘full measure of their sin.’
I have not been a strong supporter of Cruz, but as we are all human, a perfect candidate isn’t going to be had. The more I see of Cruz...well, the worse our choices seem.
I can’t fully explain my gut reaction about Trump, other than he really scares me. So did Obama in 2004, and it is that kind of inexplicable danger fear.
God put a whole bevy of candidates in front of us, I believe the right one is there, I also believe we need to step away from the edge(s) and see God’s hand at work. I pray everyday for God to bless our nation with his wisdom this election cycle, but that verse haunts me these days.
The Democrat Party left God in 2012, we all witnessed that betrayal live on TV.
Trumps responses to the idea of confession or forgiveness...
Cruz turning out to be quite sleezy...
God raises up humble men to greatness, who is that out of all our choices? I just don’t know right now...and I am not will to hurl myself off a cliff for the pot of gold.
Pure BS. The Gang of 8 bill passed the Senate 68-32 with 14 Reps voting for it. I was on the Hill lobbying against the bill, which was never taken up by the House. Jeff Sessions led the fight against the Gang of 8 bill preparing a briefing paper for each GOP member of the House and meeting with them Cruz helped in that part of the effort, but he was not by any means a leader.
What really killed the Gang of 8 bill was the defeat of Eric Cantor in the primary by Dave Brat, someone I worker with and helped. We made over 40,000 robocalls to Reps in the district. Cantor's defeat essentially killed the bill. We came very close to losing. If Boehner had just allowed an up or down vote, a combination of Dems and Reps would have passed it easily.
Cruz likes to take credit for a lot of things he didn't do.
Cruz has always said he worked with Sessions to kill the bill. Cruz has never taken full credit for it. He has always said he worked with others to kill it.
It is funny that all these conservatives Now say they opposed that war.
4. An attention wore with no core beliefs.
Of course I’d vote him over Hilary but I just think he will be a Romney repeat.
A stone cold fact, and Cruz absolutely tries to give the impression he stopped it as does many of his supporters. Although Cruz makes with the Clintonian weasel words for easy deniability.
It’s just dumb luck Boehner waited to take that final vote. They had the votes for it to pass in the bag, but he waited for to make double sure before they voted. We were literally hours away from it passing.
And the whole “fought to kill the bill” spiel is highly debatable. Neuter maybe, but never tried to kill it.
Letter signed by Cruz, “we want immigration reform to pass..”(with our provisos)

You have nailed why Trump is so popular. He speaks in incomplete sentences and simple words. What he says is not clear when you analyze the exact structure of what he says. Thus people read into his verbiage whatever they themselves think, and believe Trump agrees with them. Thus he says (to them) what they believe is true.
