I love it when Trump throws it right back in their face.
I really like Cruz. But he was so wrong on the illegals.
In 2014, Raphael Cruz joined the NRSC at the behest of Mitch McConnell.
During the flat out fraud and betrayal on Chris McDaniels in Mississippi, Raphael Cruz remained silent.
IMO, that demonstrates Raphael’s true GOP-Establishment heart and may have been the final straw that caused Sarah Palin to endorse Trump.
Not surprising, Raphael Cruz continues to align himself with Glenn Beck, the amnesty lovin’ kook and shamster.
As an aside, Willie Robertson endorsed Trump yesterday in Las Vegas at the gun show.
TRUMPS PLAN?
Send them home then bring them back.
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I waited months for Cruz to come out strongly against illegal immigration. He was silent for so long, I figured it spoke volumes.
So I switched.
You’re right—Cruz was wrong and until the last month or so he was slippery about still being wrong.
Trump raised the issue in the campaign, but he’s for a touchback amnesty right now, and Cruz has of late come out against any amnesty.
This ad IMO is slippery too, because it compares Cruz’s past on amnesty with Trump’s present on border security. Trump can’t compare their current respective positions on amnesty, because Trump would lose.
Cruz was not wrong at all.
Trump is a shrewd operator and is taking this completely out of context.
The amendment to the Bill mentioned was a poison pill Cruz was trying to insert into the gang of 8 legislation (which Rubio helped author) to expose that the Dems were not interested in anything but getting votes from illegals. He knew it would fail, but wanted to punctuate what the Dems were doing at the time.
It simply stated, okay, if you do this you have to put in the bill that they cannot vote. The Dems voted it down thus exposing their true agenda.
Cruz was smart...now that is being used against him in spot ads that take advantage of the squeeze play he was putting on the democrats.
In the end, either Trump or Cruz will be immeasurably better than Hillary or sanders.
But, as I say, Trump is playing a deft political game here, and sadly, because of that Cruz had to say at the time to try and expose the democrats, he is able to use that against him in the primaries.
Trumps deportation plan allows all the “good ones” to come right back in. Who are the “good ones” and who gets to decide?
If the only reason you are for Trump is because he is promising to build a big beautiful wall, then what good is the wall when you allow 90% of the people you deport to come back on an expedited basis and become legal?
These amnesty freaks should be kicked out of office for violating the rule of law. Cruz should understand something about the law.
