Rube is no match for Cruz.

His inane babbling can only send more support to Cruz.

Cruz has never supported Amnesty, that is Rube and Trump’s folly. Trump has even confessed that his business cannot survive without some form of amnesty.

BS. Trump had the first and still best immigration position paper on immigration. And a staffer in Jeff Sessions office drafted most of it.

Trump’s position on the illegals is that “the good ones” must be readmitted, and given a path to citizenship.

Cruz’ position has constantly been that it cannot be done legally.

So enjoy your BS sandwich.

Nice! At the very least this campaign has raised Ted to the top of the Republican party, whether the Establishment wants to acknowledge him or not.

No must about it. Coming in legally will present them with plenty of problems.

Cruz’ position has constantly been that it cannot be done legally.

Cruz postion is to allow them to stay here and be legalized, albeit without a path to citizenship. This is amnesty.

Cruz in his own words about those living "in the shadows."

...[Bob Vander Plaats:]My hope is to endorse and weigh in with everything I have around Thanksgiving. I will assess the candidate’s character, competency, company and cash (or resources to win beyond Iowa). I truly believe if we unite, we will secure the nomination and, ultimately, the presidency with a pro-family standard bearer who is unabashedly a courageous, full spectrum conservative leader...

That’s not my experience, not at all.

I think Trump is going to do quite well in Manhattan and on Wall Street where (obviously) social conservatism is not understood or practiced.

But there’s a lot of 911 survivors who absolutely and harshly reject the PC era in which we find ourselves. They will back whatever Trump wants to do with regards to foreign policy....why? Because they are deeply, deeply committed to 911 never happening again.

That’s my experience at any rate. In this regard, Trump’s tent is a little bit different than Cruz’s. It might even be a little larger....hard to say.

Perhaps, but they are such a small segment that I would not even spend any time considering them.

>> “But there are a lot of 911 survivors who absolutely and harshly reject the PC era in which we find ourselves.” <<

And if they have much understanding of where the real Trump has been consistently, they will have nothing to do with him. They’ll want a man with a record of standing against the destruction, and there is only one that fits that bill: Ted Cruz.

Cruz’ record as Solicitor General in Texas sets him apart from the chaff that are his opponents in either party, including the “self” party of Trump.

just to clarify, I’m for Cruz, like many here. But I think Trump has some unique and important qualities, and I would enthusiastically suppor him.

But yeah. Cruz is the most capable conservative in my lifetime. Easily.

Donald Trump clearing the path for Ted Cruz (in some respects) kinda sounds like a divine political miracle ...


Who in their right mind would have predicted Yeb Bush polling at FOUR-Percent 85 days before the Iowa Caucus ...

And that Ted Cruz (the virtual unknown, alleged Tea Party psycho-case) would have received an endorsement (today, 2015-11-16) that even the Washington Post says pretty much wins Iowa for Ted Cruz ?



That political miracle is akin to the American Naval victory at Midway (1942) and/or The LORD opening the Red Sea for Israel.

Thanks for posting this, CC. It’s really good news.

In other headlines, Cruz ate a bagel and some Trumpster raved that he wouldn’t have had breakfast if Trump hadn’t provided it, LOL.

And Anne Coulter complains that Ted Cruz can't resist pandering to Jews by eating a symbolic bagel.
