"We stopped the Gang of Eight bill. Ted Cruz led the fight against the establishment would be living under amnesty right now if Cruz had not succeeded." - Rush Limbaugh.
"It was that close to being passed... and I think I can say this with integrity. Without the vigorous opposition of Ted Cruz, this bill likely would have passed." - Sen. Jeff Sessions
That’s not really “a lot”, that’s two things. And the second one, you can only give him “credit” for that if you ignore what he was saying at the time he introduced his amendments to the Gang of 8 bill. He claimed at the time that he was being completely sincere and totally wanted the bill to pass, then when it came up now in the campaign, he says he was lying back then and it was a big poison pill scam to kill the bill.
So even if he was “victorious” against the Gang of 8 bill, he’s still a liar. Some big win. :/
