I don’t know why they try to lump Cruz in with Trump. Trump is responsible for changing the narrative. He alone came out with a tough stance on immigration in the face unrelenting criticism. No one stepped up to stand with him. And it was the same thing with stopping the terrorist invasion on this country. They all ridiculed Trump as a racist or Hitler or worse. Where was Cruz through all this? Oh, that’s right Cruz made sure to distance himself from the policy. Cruz has not actually accomplished anything in the senate other then a lot of talk and TPA. I say no, Cruz does not deserve to ride on Trump’s coat tales yet because he has not earned it. If Cruz were to suspend his campaign and through his support behind Trump I would judge differently.
When Trump came out with his Muslim ban, both Cruz and Paul had already introduced legislation to ban immigrants from 34 countries that have terrorist activity.
I would invite you to listen to Cruz’s announcement speech from March 23rd and then listen to Trump’s announcement speech. What you will hear is that every single position Trump takes has already been taken by Cruz. The only things that Trump left out are Religious liberty and abolishing the IRS.
The reason why Trump is where he is was because he made the big moves early on while the other candidates were all too happy to play the easy game throughout the summer and early Fall.
They let Trump take the risk, and now that he changed the narrative and dispatched the RINOs and weak conservatives, every article pastes Cruz’s name into it as if he was in the thick of it the whole time.
