First of all, there MANY more important issues than JUST immigration and trade. I don’t make my decisions solely on those issues, but I’m not at all leery about Cruz’s policies on those issues. Furthermore, I have no doubt about where Cruz stands on every single core conservative, constitutional issue there is, because he has a strong record of standing up for those issues, unlike Deceptive Donnie who has done nothing but support ultra-liberal candidates and their issues his entire life.
Second, I don’t believe that imposing massive tariffs is good for our economy; it will bring a huge increase in the cost of goods that we buy and hyper inflation. I am in favor of “a level playing field” and better trade deals.
Third, I don’t have a problem with some of his immigration positions, but it depends on what position he actually believes in. You might want to find a candidate who’s more consistent on his immigration positions.
For instance, did you notice anything about his pro-amnesty position on Morning Joe just about a month ago?
“Well, the first thing we do is take the bad ones, of which there are, unfortunately, quite a few. We take the bad ones, and get them the hell out. . . . We have to get the bad ones out. Then the other ones — and I’m a very big believer in merit system. I have to tell you. Because some of these people have been here, they’ve done a good job. You know, in some cases, sadly, they’ve been living under the shadows, etc. etc. We have to do something. So, whether it’s merit or whether it’s whatever, but I’m a believer in the merit system. If somebody’s been outstanding, we try and work something out. But before we do anything, Joe, we have to secure the border....”
Doesn’t really sound very “pro” amnesty to me...He has said that they would leave and have to go through the proper procedures for re-entering the United states...You know, like what our laws require...
Tariffs will not create huge increases in the goods we manufacture...Only the ones we bring in from the countries the tariffs were applied to. That would increase American manufacturing in America...
Here is a difference I think I see between you and I...
If Trump is NOT the nominee and Cruz is...I will vote for Cruz and pull as hard as I can for his victory...
I don’t think you will say the same if Trump is the nominee....
