Found this photo of the Jeb debate watch party in Miami tonight.

There’s 10 people by my count.

Cruz's Plan

(excerpt)

"Enforce the law: Restore our commitment to enforcement and public safety and the Rule of Law by rededicating DHS to fully enforcing the law, including through deportations and returns."

And his plan goes into further detail.

"the best joke of the night when he said he’d build a wall and have Donald pay for it."

It was genius. It is the joke of the night that will be repeated, and it encapsulates a key policy position (Cruz = build wall).

[LibsRJerks]

Actually, I wish we could just stop the GOp debates and go straight to debating the democrats. The GOP will need time to get their message out and educate the zillions of nincompoops out there who think Hillary is the best choice.

I’m ready to allow Trump and Cruz that chance sooner than later ....

[gwgn02]

CRUZ will be POTUS. He’ll hire Donald to build his big beautiful wall.

[altura]

I hope so. Cruz did not pull punches in attacking Rubio’s record and his lies.

[nopardons]

SPOT ON !

[grey_whiskers]

&168Jeb? is doing fine. Just remember he has Karl Rove as his mastermind, and we *know* how well that worked out for Dubya and the GOP. (Dubya barely one his first term against Gore, and barely squeaked out a win against Kerry...while the GOP bled seats in the House and Senate...)

[RitaOK]

I think that maybe the generosity TRUMP demonstrated with Cruz has more to do with winning Iowa than with Rush. Iowa voters may like that there, and Cruz’ negative coverage may have its effect and throw a closer race to TRUMP, there.

Jury is out on that chess play between them, but Cruz looked bashfully grateful for what TRUMP said about him.

[Duchess47]

LOL. He’s not political at all and will not vote period. Says he earned the right to not vote with 20+ years in the military. Also 20+ years in various law enforcement, he did NOT like Cruz at all.

[altura]

I am impressed that Trump listened to Rush. I wasn’t sure he would.

[Kickass Conservative]

>>>Drudge is unscientific bogus poll, measures anger, not number of supporters<<<

So, your guy is at the bottom? LOL

Just funning you, we all know it isn’t scientific.

I guess that means that the Trump and Cruz folks are angrier than the other Candidate’s Supporters.

Very interesting.

ISIS does not include a claim on Israel.
ISIL does

They still have got to leave the country. And the legal way is the tightened control of entry at the border and their will be legal hoops they have to go through to gain access. US citizens come first before an employer gets to hire a temp foreign worker. It’s in his Immigration Reform position paper if you want to read it.
