"Brilliant, just absolutely brilliant. And conservative through and through. Trustworthy, strong, confident, leader, and somebody in whom you can totally depend." ~Rush Limbaugh on Ted Cruz

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Horowitz has been dissembling on this topic from the beginning, refusing to accurately depict Rubio/Santorum’s argument for what it was: not an accusation that Cruz “implicitly” supported legalization (which he then confuses even before with Cruz’s definition of amnesty), but an explicit accusation that Cruz supported legal status for illegals, albeit after the border was secured.

As for Sessions, not even Sessions was talking deportation during the Gang of Eight fight (nor was anybody else on the right), nor is it true when Sessions says that Cruz was with him “every step of the way.” Cruz opposed Sessions on H1Bs, voting down his amendment that would have limited legal immigration, and then responding with his own amendment to expand H1Bs by 500% for the stated purpose that the bill would more likely “pass the House.”

These videos/interviews/articles all miss the primary point: That legal status for illegals after border security was the mainstream position of GOP conservatives, even Rush Limbaugh, during the fight.

This certainly doesn’t make them RINOs, just not leaders capable of shifting the window of discourse where it needed to be.

FOX executives need to pay attention. The anger that voters are feeling can quite easily be turned on FOX as well— and it was the angry conservative voter who made FOX news to begin with.
