What if the Supreme Court legalized and then required a path to citizenship for nearly every Illegal here, in the name of 'human rights'?

Then everyone would screech about how they're abusing their power...all the time not realizing they're the ones who opened the door.

Maybe I'm just getting paranoid in my old age, but the longer this rolls on, the more I feel we're ALL being played for the purpose of people actually forcing the government into doing something it has no legitimate ability to do - 'legally' defining natural born citizen. The 'unintended' consequence, of course will be to further erode the borders.

But like I said, maybe that's just me.

The other candidates supporters aren’t going to support Trump.

Unless Trump is a complete idiot I’d have to say he knew that before he started his scorched earth campaign.

It’s a healthy statement. Obama and Trump both promised things that they could not deliver. Some of what they could not or he (Trump in this case) cannot deliver was outside of Presidential authority. Other things are not remotely popular ideas (Obama closing Guantanamo, for instance). Trump saying he’ll be getting rid of gun-free zones at schools (not within a president’s power and likely popular where they were put in place)). It’s going to take some time to roll back Obama’s follies. Cruz isn’t saying it can be done overnight, the way Obama promised the Oceans would go up or down to his command when he was president. In the long run, we have to roll back liberal indoctrination as well. This takes a real conservative to preach to. Clearly, one man knows the topic better than the rivals.

They do defend everything he says and has said, even when the statements or actions are contradictory.

OK. He is doing that. He has said so many times. Laws are different. You can’t do EO on those.
Trump - gospel truth.
Cruz - the devil.
That is the black and white of it and why Cruzers find trumpees so frustrating.

I am saddened that you took no time to understand the full meaning of what I wrote.

>>>He was simply saying that if they were still alive these liberal icons would have opposed what Obama is doing now<<<

I'm a Cruz Supporter first with Trump as my second choice.

If Senator Cruz actually believes what you Posted, he is naive at best and delusional at worst. If any Freepers believe that of any of those three great Patriots that Cruz mentioned, well...

Cruz already said he would repeal the unconstitutional EOs on day one.

Try again.

We already have one, in case you didn’t notice. He sets the budgets and makes the laws WITHOUT Congress.

Everything you say also applies to Ted Cruz. In fact, GOPe hates him more than Trump, since he threatend to shut down thier precious Government on many occasions! Trump is recently polling ahead of Clinton and Clinton will not step on Trump. Look what happened this past week when she tried. Result? Bill Clinton has been sidelined (at least temporarily), and Hillary is forced to turn to the mandrogenous freak Lena Dunham for support. Trump permanently tied Hillary to Bill’s behavior and called her out as an enabler. Wow! Even GOPe operative Chris Wallace couldn’t mount a coherant defense of Hillary Clinton while interviewing Trump. He got schooled again.

Well said. Both Cruz and Trump are playing it perfectly for now.
