Cruz also distinguished himself from Dewhurst with his full-throated support for a border wall estimated by the Department of Homeland Security to cost $7.3 billion, or $6.5 million per mile.
Cruz defended the border wall proposal even if it meant expropriating private property—a position that the debate’s moderators, WFAA reporter Brad Watson and Gromer Jeffers of the Dallas Morning News, said contrasted with Cruz’s message of fiscal conservatism.

Cruz may have a hard time keeping his Senate seat
In 2012 Trump was still praising obama
All this talk of a wall is baloney. Think about it. The minute the wall starts, the enviro wacko tree hugging greenies will be filing suits left and right. Oh no! It’s going to harm some endangered rat. It will be decades, if ever, before a wall is built. Secondly all candidates are for allowing illegals to stay or return, whether they admit it or not.

''My touchstone for every question is the Constitution,'' Cruz said, adopting the refrain commonly heard from Tea Party supporters.
Good stuff and I proudly voted for Ted Cruz on election day.

You know if was funny at one point, House, where I tried the tact of being supportive of both candidates and still got dumped on.

Yes, I tried that too...it didn’t work out very well. I notice some still trying to do that-—they are better people than me.
Ok Clint.........
I assure you that is correct.Bush could’nt win Texas. No more bushes. Pretty simple really.
... Poor libbers, her butt hurt?
Her doesn’t know that TRUMP “ain’t†no Dewhurst.
Her thinks Tedsy should win ALL the games, and others should let him.
Just like all trumpees you only read what you what.
Here is the point, read carefully:
Cruz was before the wall in 2012 while donnie was still openly for amnesty. The premise that donnie came up with the wall and claimed in his “speeches” which are actually 90% I am so wonderful and anyone disagrees I will ruin you,
THAT CRUZ COPIED HIS WALL IDEA = IS PURE HOGWASH and has as much foundation in truth.
I guess your response to me was supposed to be cute, and you and your buddies laughed.
YOU HAVE AS MUCH CLASS AND HUMAN DECENCY AS YOUR HERO WHICH is NONE.
Which came first your love for being rude and trying to humiliate those who disagree or did you pick it up with your support of donnie?
