Ted Cruz goes over the edge on immigration

For one, if it was not clear before, Cruz is making himself entirely unacceptable to all but “very conservative” Republicans. Moreover, he is making himself noncompetitive in a general election context. Even before this latest spasm of extremism, Cruz does worse against Hillary Clinton than do all the other GOP candidates, except Trump.

Jennifer, why are you so worried about whether or not the general public accepts Ted Cruz? C’mon, you really like the Dems, you can’t stand the Pubbies, so why the “concern” for the image of Pubbies (esp. the most right-wing among them)?

LOL

Well...eye bleach for me personally would be of a different sex, but I do understand the sentiment. She’s a huge improvement.

Love her hair.

Not lately. The last 2 polls have Cruz tied with Hillary. People are starting to know Cruz. They already knew Hillary, Trump, Christie, Bush etc.

Let's get VERY CLEAR on TED CRUZ and Immigration: ALSO from On The Issues :



Let's take a close look at what TED CRUZ said at that time about his amendment to the "Gang of Eight amnesty/ citizenship bill" :
The intent was TO EXPOSE the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" AND THE DemocRATS for their dishonesty.
THEY were trying to LEGISLATE the ILLEGAL ALIENS a PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP.

TED CRUZ was trying to amend the Bill so as TO STOP THEM,
