Trying to speak objectively as a Trump supporter, one of my issues with Cruz is his "authenticity" problem. He just comes across as insincere, even if his motives are pure.

Here's a just-released Cruz tweet, that is accompanied by a photo his very adorable little girls running on a dirt road.

Ted Cruz ‏@tedcruz 3m3 minutes ago Iowa, USA We let Caroline & Catherine off the bus for some exercise by Ames. They said they were "running to caucus" #iacaucus

Really? We supported Cruz unanimously and enthusiastically when that political cartoon criticizing using his girls in a campaign ad appeared. But a lot of us thought Cruz was right at the line that children should keep their privacy in campaigns. FWIW, Rubio and Trump have not used minor children in such a way. Trump's older children are adults and working on the campaign, so it's a different situation.

And after the "shaming" scandal, Cruz is still putting his kids in something that refers to the campaign? He is tone deaf to our concerns.

You captured the issue in a nutshell. Teaming with Beck to welcome the foreign invaders with teddy bears and soccer balls [when the average “unaccompanied minor” was a male in his late teens/early twenties] is no way to regain our sovereignty. Then claiming that every time he said he wanted a bill to first “secure” the border, then “legalize” the foreign invaders, he was lying...it just gets to be too much.
