This was posted a couple months ago and discussed at length. Cruz’s ‘support’ for a wall was in fact a typical political answer to a question from a debate moderator as to whether he would support a wall along the length of the Texas/Mexico border. He never brought the issue up on his own the way Trump did. If you know had to interpret these kinds of answers, it’s clear that it was political doublespeak designed to cover all sides of the issue, just like Cruz’s comments that the protesters in Chicago were responsible for the riots, but at the same time Trump is responsible for creating the climate for encouraging them.
When asked if he supported building a wall, Cruz responded (I’m paraphrasing) ‘Yes. I support walls, fences, increased border security, drones, everify, anything that works.’ If you don’t see the wiggle room Cruz provides himself with that answer, you’re not looking very hard.
“He never brought the issue up on his own the way Trump did.”
Wrong. He talked about it at length in the book he wrote before he ran for office.
