Are you not aware of Cruz’s coordination with House leaders in fighting the Gang of 8 bill?
The bill was not going to pass in the House as written. Boner and his gang kept trying to bring up some amnesty bill and spent more than a year threatening and trying. It was thought they’d bring it up during the lame duck session at the end of 2014, but the shock defeat of Cantor ended that plan.
Whether Cruz had any influence in the House is debatable, but he hardly deserves credit for stopping passage of an amnesty bill in the House.
Overall, Ted has been weak to fair on immigration, and his statements this week are a departure from his past positions. He’s even dropping Jeff Sessions name whenever he can.
Trump and Cruz are the only two I could support, but some are going overboard about Cruz’s recent Road to Damascus experience on immigration.
