Cruz negatives are less than a tenth of Trump’s
Trump now has almost 64% adamant negatives to overcome.
There is no way he can do it. He is sliding, and Cruz is surging.
Your polling is a little old. But I guarantee you that the deal is done, Trump will be President. Once the Iran deal starts to be implemented even without Iran signing on, and TPP hits the senate floor, Cruz will be exposed.
trump is, by his own admission, a marvelous salesman. He’s sold you.
I kinda prefer to ignore all the hype and look at the overall record. I don’t believe that 65 year old men change so dramatically in their core beliefs short of a religious experience. trump has never intimated that he recently had a religious experience. If he had, I’m sure,we couldn’t shut him up about it.
So, he needs to validate his words with deeds. And self-aggrandizing books are not deeds. He,also has to stop the,occasional slip back into liberalism, like how it’s going to be the govt who picks up the health tab for the folks who can’t afford it, like ethanol subsidies, like the unnumbered number of immigration agents needed to intrude on innocent Americans to round up 12 - 30 million illegals in house to house searches. Like support for the intrusive Patriot Act.
You are so right. Some people are not worth a precious second of the time it takes
.
You really don’t get it, do you!
64% refuse to vote for the doofus.
How can he win anything?
He impresses the uninformed only.
We will hold you to your statement. How do you like your crow pie? bet you would relish a Trump/Oprah ticket
Don’t feed the TrumpTroll =^)
Trump in 2012 criticized the GOP for being mean spirited on immigration. He said that Romney's plan of self deportation of illegals was "maniacal".
Will the real Donald Trump show up please?
Dork, the Corker bill vote is one of the reasons I have not backed Cruz. I won't back Trump. Ever. He's a Trojan horse.
Thats so cool.I will just leave mine on the door and add Trump to it.
Is Rubio paying you to regurgitate his talking points? Limbaugh spent an entire hour today explaining the complications of this legislation, and what Cruz' intent was.
I'll take Limbaugh and Session's word over a FR sTrumpet like you any day,
WASHINGTON, DC: When it comes to increasing skilled workers on H-1B visas, one could say presidential candidate Ted Cruz is a bit of a black sheep amongst the GOP.
The Republican presidential candidate wants to increase the H-1B visas by 500 percent from its 65,000 to 325,000.
Cruz, who announced his run for the Oval office this morning, had made the proposition in 2013 as an amendment to the Senate’s comprehensive immigration bill.
While the Senate’s Judiciary Committee torpedoed Cruz’s amendment, they did approve an increase of 180,000 in the H-1B cap, but the House never acted on the legislation.
It’s not clear if Cruz had only the base 65,000 H-1B visas for skilled workers from around the globe to emigrate to the US in mind, and he didn’t want to include the 20,000 other H-1B visas which are allocated especially for students who graduate from universities in the US.
However, Cruz’s amendment proposed drastically increasing the fees associated with the visa applications from $1,500 to $2,500 for companies with 25 H-1B workers or more. According to Computerworld, the additional revenue would be directed towards promotion of STEM education.
Cruz is one of the few right-wing politicians who subscribes to the same school of thought as his Democratic opponents across the party aisle, in believing visa workers in the U.S. provide the catalyst for further domestic job growth.
In defending the H-1B increase, Cruz cited a study by the American Enterprise Institute that claimed 183 jobs for U.S. nationals are created for every 100 H-1B workers employed on American soil.
The report, which was published during tougher economic times, illustrated that H1-Bs were not even harmful during the recession.

Which one is the troll!?
Session knows what happened...and he knows he fought against the Gang of 8, which included Rubio in its ranks. Rubio was new, young, and sold out, early on, to the manipulations of power and politics..
It’s actually pretty simple.
Cruz proposed a poison pill amendment to the Gang o 8’s legislation to expose the aims of their bill to provide citizenship and voting rights to illegals.
He spoke eloquently in support o the poison pill at the time, and he did so trying to get the dems to support it. But he knew their support was very unlikely because it would have removed those voting rights, and in not supporting it, they exposed their own intentions.
It was a parliamentarian maneuver and it worked.
Now Rubio and others are trying to say that Cruz’s bill was actually in support of legalizing illegals. But they know what happened and they are simply afraid of Cruz and trying to sue this against him.
IMHO, it is not going to work. Too many of us know the truth and are willing t says so.
..Duncan Hunter was great—thanks for reminding everyone cc...
..and when President Cruz finishes the fence on the southern border, he should hold a ceremony and have DH cut the ribbon...
