As I said, we’re not as stupid as Cruz supporters think we are:
‘Trump and his team have a point, and it’s not like the Club for Growth has the best track record of conservatism. They backed Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ)
in his election—someone who has by all accounts turned out to be a disaster in Washington—and have worked unsuccessfully to primary some conservatives like Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), who’s been one of the biggest advocates for conservatism in Washington.
The latest questionable move by the Club for Growth is that they published a white paper that praised Jeb Bush’s record when he was Florida’s governor. The Club also sat on the sidelines while the entire permanent political class pushed the Republican Party to embrace amnesty for illegal aliens, and this Congress has aggressively pushed for Obamatrade.’
Surely that wouldn’t be the first time a conservative backed a candidate who turned out to be a disappointment.
Never heard of Gosar.
An article on their site offers a mixed review of Jeb Bush. Almost every conservative commentator including Hannity and Ingraham claims Jeb Bush had a conservative record as governor in FL.
Club for Growth supports free trade and says they have supported basically every free trade agreement. I agree and believe that conservatism = free trade.
I couldn’t tell you their position on amnesty since their site doesn’t seem to mention it in an obvious place I can find. I’m still waiting to hear the candidate who wants to deport every illegal and make sure they never come back. Trump supports bringing back all the “good ones” in an expedited fashion right after deportation.
