The only defense that he and his supporters can muster is that he has "evolved" on his beliefs of nearly seven decades. This is awfully convenient, of course, considering that his new talking points match the narrative that is required to stir up what psychologists are calling the "authoritarian wing" of the Republican party. These are the Republicans who are angry about what the government is doing and who want someone strong to tell them what to think and how to act. It's the daddy-issues wing of the party - those who know enough to want change but who don't take the time to research the claims of their chosen candidate.
These people won't be reached. Instead, we're appealing to the curious- but thoughtful-Republicans who are interested in hearing what Trump has to say but who won't follow him blindly based upon the unlikely claim that he's erased 67-years of liberalism just in time to be Mr. Conservative. They will research him and come to the conclusion that he was pro-amnesty less than two years before his infamous anti-immigrant rant when he launched his campaign....

BS.
Cruz is me too
Oh yeah. I remember him filibustering for it right at the dinner hour so he’d get maximum TV exposure. Oh. No. That was something else.
Show me a quote where he said the word “wall”.
Trumpties don’t care about facts. They’ll just insult when presented with facts and scream make America great again.
Won’t help when Cruz refuses to waterboard. Refuses to question terrorist families. Won’t stop refugees. Won’t round up illegals. In Cruz administration, his policies would help ISIS. Cruz does not want a wall. He wants invitations sent to all terrorists saying we are open for business.
Show me the bill he sponsored.
“Trump called for an wall, deportations, mandatory E-Verify and an end to birthright citizenship in his 2010 book “Time to Get Tough.””
Undoubtedly true. Trump has also taken a myriad of conflicting positions on the issue, however.
Trump is currently for amnesty after a symbolic “touch back” to their home countries.

then perhaps you can explain his comments on Willard’s Immigration Poliicy in 2012?
I have seen Cruz on both sides of the issue. I did see a vid of him wanting to bring the illegals out of the shadows, presumably to give them Teddy bears and soccer balls.
That;s Marco's boy
I mean , Kasich Boy
Or is that Cruz's boy?
So he has been ineffective for 4 years? And this still doesn’t explain the soccer ball incident.
Actually, he was saying this in 2011. Not sure if Trump was still donating to Democrats then or not.
In 2013, Ted Cruz wanted to give 11 million invaders legal permanent residency so they would “come out of the shadows”.
Comments, Cruz has the RECORD..and Trump has the Euphoric words. The late personal secretary of Richard Nixon, felon Chuck Colson said, ALWAYS look at a persons history of voting, where he put his money, and NOT look at his words. I go with Cruz, not the guy who insults fat women.
Read “Time to get Tough”, it is from before 2012 and calls for a wall, controlling the border, etc. Cruz wanted a 5x increase in H1B visas and a doubling of legal immigration as recently as last fall until Trump’s success with his immigration policy paper forced him to modify those positions.
Not “amnesty”, my Brother, but go home, get in line, and apply through the channels.
That is one hell of a difference from “amnesty”!
