No, YOU are wrong!

But even IF I were "wrong", YOU need to get over your Cruz "cultist" attitude as well as well as NOT stating what YOU would have done/would do. You're a nobody, don't know anyone you're talking about, and this topic is not only NOT part of this thread, but absolutely MEANINGLESS!

Oh no it was NOT!

It was and apparently still IS the Cruzites' opinion; however,those of us who were for Trump knew what we we were talking about!

Forget Cruz...he's done/over/finished!

Ted is fine, he’s not Mr. Constitution, Mr. Conservative, etc. his fan boys often portray him as; he’s not the other things his detractors say.

It was over for Nixon in 1960; saw how that worked out.

Ted’s got problems with me but if he is honest, he can overcome it.

The upcoming Senate race in Texas could be close.

I think a lot of what he does this day, is driven by his current campaign, pleasing his constituency but there really isn’t anything wrong with that.

Cruz was pretty much a newbie and lower staff if he was talking about whom should be sitting on the SCOTUS, Luttig or Roberts. He was not the Prez. People change their mind, I wouldn’t get wrapped up in this.

That's my nic; I don't have a "tagline"!

Cruz was and probably still IS all for amnesty for ALL damned ILLEGAL ALIENS!

I guess that you have forgotten or are just ignoring the fact that Lyin' Ted went to the Texas border with his BFF, old Glen,"WEEPIN', Beck, to hand out toys, teddy bears,water, and HUGS to the INVADING HORDE of damned ILLEGALS.

Thus far, Trump; hasn't done ANYTHING at all ( which would be as ILLEGAL as what wee barry did FOR making DACA to begin with! ) and at this rate, DACA shall expire and be done with, leaving those who did sign up for DACA, immediately removable.

Guess understanding the above, is just far too much for you to comprehend. LOL

You mean citizenship, even giving them "legal residency" but not a pathway to citizenship is amnesty.

I guess, one is alright with making 1 million chain migrants citizens every year.

And even if that bill were to stop the majority of chain migration outside of the family, legally, it will take 10-17 years to rid our system of it.

Just over a year and half or so ago that was every-ones expert opinion on the present occupier of that office!!!

Not here, it wasn't.

And that has NOTHING to do with Ted Cruz, who isn't within rocket range of the vicinity of the neighborhood of Trump's leadership qualities, savvy, courage, or anything else.

Ted will never, thankfully, reach beyond the current level of his incompetence: the U.S. Senate.

People ragging on Ted will turn me back into a supporter of him. Hey, campaigns get dirty, feelings get hurt, he’s not perfect but he showed he’s human. On this issue, I think he is, in part at least, pandering to the hard right and his constituency to turn out the votes for the election. I bring up chain migration, Cruz has spoken on CM and says it needs to end. I’m not sure if he is realistic here.

I’m not an expert. So far, he’s largely been the only one totally against this bill so I don’t think it is that he is the only one who understands and Mike Lee, Rand Paul and others, Tom Cotton, just don’t grasp the situation. But I certainly don’t have this, “bitterness” towards him like some.

So Ted Cruz going to the border with Glen Beck is outrageous but Donald Trump giving citizen ship to 1.8 million is just hunkie dorie...or is that too much for you to comprehend.

DACA shall expire and be done with, leaving those who did sign up for DACA, immediately removable.

But Trump says no one wants to remove them. Certainly not him!!!

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH...you Cruzites need to just get over it!

You're even worse than the Hilary bots!

Oh but they ARE being removed, now; the ones whose signups lapsed, those who commit crimes other than being here illegally!

And Lyin'Teddykins would NEVER have beaten Hilary; so there!

1.8 million are not getting amnesty. Trump did what he did because he was pointing out that even that wasn’t enough for dems.

Cruz in an opportunist. He would not be able to get anything through and he has a habit of caving.

A lot of Democrats are certain winners, also. Should Trump endorse them?

I think you need medication for your severe autism. You just need something to dial it down. Maybe get into playing more puzzles?

Your evidence?

Cruz was a Luttig advocate.

This is off topic, I refuse to do your scut work, so just drown your cultist Cruzite sorrows in some tear drenched beers.

Nobody, but NOBODY is "warming up" to him, he's going NOWHERE, and so, if it takes rending your clothes, pouring ashes over your collective heads, wailing, weeping, gnashing of teeth, or even howling at the moon...go do it. :-)

No...according to President Trump they will be on a path to citizenship!! Cruz was the only man the Establishment hated as much as Trump. He was hated because he had a habit of opposing the establishment!!!

Harvard educated Ted Cruz, made a name for himself that he, stood for the original intent of the Constitution... except for the 'natural born' requirement to hold the office of president... Then Ted Cruz went all Obama, a fellow Harvard supposed educated lawyer. It is beyond sad that so many that are 'natural born' are willing to toss out their God given and protected Constitutional 'gift' to a fast talking Cuban Canadian.

The original intent from the founding fathers gave two US citizen parents the power to bestow 'natural born' US citizenship... birthing their child on US soil. Ted Cruz will never ever be a 'natural born' US citizen....

By definition dreamers have not committed any crimes...Trump is presently deporting any illegal who has committed a felony! The 800,000 who have signed up plus the 1,000,000 Trump added are the ones he wants to give a pathway to citizenship. This after he campaigned on "NO AMNESTY" I know you don't want to face up to your hero throwing us under the bus but that's whats happening.....so there!!!
