I won't bash the guy, but it's kind of silly to write a dozen paragraphs in the lead-up to calling Trump a "flip flopper" when Ted Cruz is also one. Additionally, at the end of the article, he gets it wrong saying that Cruz "helped defeat" the Gang of Eight Bill. Defeating the bill was never his intention.

Ted Cruz, on Gang of Eight Bill, 5/21/13: "They would still be eligible for legal status and indeed, under the terms of the bill, they would be eligible for LPR status as well so that they are out of the shadows. ... I don't want immigration reform to fail. I want immigration reform to pass."

” Cruz “helped defeat” the Gang of Eight Bill”


Truth is Cruz “tried to amend” the bill. Nothing more. And as in all things Cruz, he’s unanimously ignored, so in order to save face, he comes up with the absurd story of the poison pill.
