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....

“And this amendment, I believe, if this amendment were to pass, the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically. Poison pill?
Pay attention.
BARF
You see THAT but cannot see the OBVIOUS political calculations by Trump...
Literally 4 decades of HARD evidence of being a SUPER liberal, and you give him a pass...
Cruz has been fighting for conservative principles his entire career, yet discount it entirely...
Do you literally not see your own hypocrisy?
That was Ted Cruz’s earnest and impassioned sell of his amendment that in 2015 he then said was all a lie and was actually designed to make immigration reform fail. So if anyone is a lair, it is self-admittedly Ted Cruz, not me.
And immigration reform did fail, but anyone paying attention at the time knows it failed because Eric Cantor got primaried, not because of anything Ted Cruz did.
Let me guess, you read the headlines and posted without reading the material or watching the video’s right? It’s a pretty common mistake to make.
I thought a border wall was approved and its construction began during the Bush administration. What happened and why was it terminated and defunded?
Lyin' Ted -- the Epitome of a Fake Conservative.
He failed.
Squabbling over whatever who said when is OBE
Cruz cannot get to 1237. He knows this.
He also knows he will not win a contested convention.
He is suckering his supporters into keeping Trump from getting 1237. Then the gope puts in ryan.
Even if Trump gets over 1237 the gope will probably put in ryan anyway.
After Mississippi, why do you think the guy with the most votes is going to win?
Spoiler Cruz.
“Pay attention.”
I have been and that’s why I support Trump. Nice tactic though.

Beck is kicked out of the Tea Party, the Party that Cruz ran on to get his Senate Seat...
And then Trump hires illegals to clean his toilets. Typical elitists.
Cruz was supporting an amendment that all conservatives knew was a poison pill for the bill to pass. I assume you know this but just wanted to add to the propaganda between Cruzers and Trumpsters.
“Cruz is me too”
You are Cruz?
Look man, you have some campaigning to do. Stop posting here. All you’ll find are irrational trump fans who don’t like reality so they create a little one of their very own where trump has always been exactly what they think he is. Don’t waste your time trying to teach them anything - they are beyond learning. When they sleep the words ‘wall’ and ‘Chyna’ echo through their minds and when they wake ‘Cruz is a liar, lyon Ted’ escape their mouths with the first breath of a new day.
I too feel sorry for them but what can you do? We’ve tried to point out so many of outright lies and character assassinations used against you for months. Some folks are just damaged beyond repair by the showman in whom they can attribute any good thing they can think of.
Look Ted, I’m not trying to get you down. Eventually they’ll come around. Until they do though, get out there and campaign your tail off!
Go Cruz!/scooby321.
And we all know from government classes that Senators can order by fiat something to come to pass... “Be done”!!!
Not likely. A Texas senator isn’t close enough to home to gain him anything.
Texas Senator Cruz could have built the wall right there in Texas.
California Congressman Duncan Hunter built the CA/Mexico wall.
(Unfortunately the Tijuana termites dug a massive tunnel system beneath.)
I thought a border wall was approved .... What happened ...//
The GOP congress approved the construction but did not vote the funds as it was “too expensive”
The bill approving the construction is still there (I believe) but currently unfunded
