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....

Given that, I’ll support the guy who’s talking it THIS CYCLE."
So was Donnie lying when he said he supported amnesty in June 2015, or is he lying now?
..or was he lying a month ago, when he told Morning Joe he was now in favor of amnesty AGAIN:
“Well, the first thing we do is take the bad ones, of which there are, unfortunately, quite a few. We take the bad ones, and get them the hell out. . . . We have to get the bad ones out. Then the other ones — and I’m a very big believer in merit system. I have to tell you. Because some of these people have been here, they’ve done a good job. You know, in some cases, sadly, they’ve been living under the shadows, etc. etc. We have to do something. So, whether it’s merit or whether it’s whatever, but I’m a believer in the merit system. If somebody’s been outstanding, we try and work something out. But before we do anything, Joe, we have to secure the border....”
I'M JUST SO CONFUSED!
Will the real Donnie please stand up?
Cruz wasn’t a Senator in 2012.
Yup.
None of Donnie’s promises aren’t worth a pile of cow dung underneath his boots.
But the Trumpbots will continue to lick the bottom of his boots regardless, believing it’s got to be chocolate.
He was campaigning in 2012.
His Mother may have held Canadian citizenship too. But we won't know because Rafael has his records sealed like Obola.
I think I've done enough of your homework for you. You aren't open to Cruz's record on the issue so it's worthless to waste anymore of my time.
Have a good evening!
Hillary Clinton will DESTROY Cruz over his eligibility, should he somehow win the nomination or is VP.
He himself held dual citizenship!! Doesn’t that tell you enough right there? Every time I bring this up on an eligibility thread the Cruzbots suddenly go silent. Even the articles about him being Canadian don’t mention this fact, merely his birthplace. It’s the elephant in the room and the Trump card to bringing him down . pun intended.
Hillary will destroy The Donald without any issue of eligiblity.
Don’t kid yourself over the eligiblity issue. It’s an idiotic and ridiculous argument.
Not even Donnie could keep a straight face when asked why he was bringing up the issue during a debate.
This issue is nothing but a calculated, tactical, political diversion to intimidate voters to vote for Donnie.
And it’s a ridiculous dirty trick from the man who has pulled a thousand of them with impunity.
Hey Trumpbot.
The citizenship laws of other country are irrelevant.
Unless you believe like Ruth Ginsburg does, that the laws of other countries dictate the laws of this country.
Trump neutralized Hillary on the War on Women back in December. Even Slick is talking like a moderate again. No other Republican would have done this.
Don’t kid yourself over the eligiblity issue. It’s an idiotic and ridiculous argument.
Actually, it's not idiotic. If Cruz somehow wins the nomination or the VP slot, Obama's DOJ and Hillary's operatives will absolutely destroy Rafael.
” Rafael has his records sealed like Obola.”
When you’re not a real natural born citizen, I guess you have to hide your past.
Maybe.
I would add that Hillary Clinton will destroy Donald Trump over his statement several years ago, that Hillary would make a great president.
How about Donnie’s pro-amnesty stands?
Is he going to pull that card out again during the general election?
Will you be proud of him then?
And you don’t think him having dual citizenship until very recently makes any difference?
He’s already proven himself a sellout so I can’t pretend he won’t have divided loyalties. Maybe you have deluded yourself into some such nonsense to satisfy your craven TDS.
Interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

Come on -- get serious!
Surely a big-time Trumpesterer like you can squeeze more than eight lies into a two-line post!
Come on. A lot of what I said was true. Water boarding and terrorist families specifically.
Measure of supporters = measure of man...
