You got excited about the Romney??
It’s a fantastic ad.
There is a reason elites like Jeb Bush and Nancy Pelosi want unrestrained illegal immigration — it’s to create a permanent underclass available to mow their lawns and clean their houses.
If the oversupply of cheap (nay, almost slave) labor dried up, they’d have to pay people fair wages and the people who have been pushed out of the workplace would find jobs.
The black community and working class whites (and legal Hispanics), in particular, are being crushed by illegals willing to work in sub-standard conditions and for marginal pay.
Lol. And the look on Rubio’s face was great.
Yeah but those bankers weren’t really crossing the actual border.
It is assumable that when people see a video of bankers crossing the border in a commercial about securing our border...one will naturally assume that is a video of the southern border, and those are real bankers. It’s misleading and they did it on purpose.
How can we trust someone that is this DISHONEST in what they show in their ads? Huh!?
To win you need a ground game, you need people to nudge others to caucus or to vote for you with a get the vote out effort, you need internal polling and you need to ground and pound the early primary counties in states not hold 1 or 2 rallies in stadiums. Trump has no ground game, no get out the vote effort and he doesn't even have all the precinct captains in Iowa get to caucus for him. In this part of the primary Donald can have those crowds if he can't mobilize them then he's this cycles Howard Dean then so be it.
“Using crowd size as an indicator of who is going to win the primary at this point is pretty much pointless”
Too bad every one of those photos were after the nomination. Unless “Romney/Ryan” signs were passed out that previous December.
At this point, I still stand by Ted Cruz as my first choice.
GOVERMENT LAWYER, that’s all Ted has ever been. He is one of 4 BIG recipients running for president of the Lawyer donations. Hillary, over 7 million, Jeb Bush over 1 million, Cruz $644,000, Rubio $576,000. They take care of their own first.

Ted misses the mark slightly, he should have shown doctors, media, bankers, software people getting off of 787 jet liners with their h-1b visas in their hands.
The message is muddled and down plays the domestic threat posed by illegals.
Nice try Teddy but who do you want building a wall Cruz or Trump? I’ll go with Trump. :-)
IMHO, Morning Joe is creepy.
When Cruz ran for the US Senate in 2012, he told Texas voters he wanted to increase the number of LEGAL foreign work visas for Texas ranchers and farmers.
He also supported increasing the LEGAL immigration quotas from Mexico and China, in order to clear up the backlog of new immigrants trying to get into Texas and the USA from those countries.
Bottom Line - Cruz wants to stop illegal immigrants from taking USA jobs. Meanwhile, 12 million permanent LEGAL immigrants will enter the USA if Cruz is in the White House for eight years.
Ted - it’s time to tell us what you plan to do about LEGAL immigrants taking USA jobs away from homegrown Americans!
I was not enthusiastic about Romney but I did vote for him. I watched the returns coming in on election night. I remember how all the states were coming in except Ohio and then finally that gave the election to Obama. I also remember the look on Obama’s face when he won. I will never believe that there wasn’t massive vote fraud that carried him over and that Ohio was one of the places.
This coming election has got to be so overwhelming that even voter fraud can’t stop it.
Looked like at least stage-doubles, if not outright digs at BOTH Rubio and Christie in the physical looks of the crossing bankers.
