Cruz disciples take aim at Obama's immigration orders
Politico ^ | February 11, 2016

A pair of Texas litigators are following Cruz's lead as they gird for a Supreme Court battle this April. On the campaign trail, Ted Cruz has vowed to rescind President Barack Obama's controversial executive actions on immigration - but it's two of his former aides who could actually kill it.

Scott Keller and Chip Roy - who served in top roles in Cruz's Senate office - are now litigators on behalf of Texas, leading the lawsuit against Obama's unilateral actions, which are at the cornerstone of the president's immigration legacy. The duo's positions also underscore Cruz's enduring influence and reach at the Texas attorney general's office, where the Republican presidential candidate served as the state's top appellate lawyer and built a launching pad for his political career...

Border Wall - Ted Cruz, July, 2012
Amnesty - Ted Cruz, July, 2011

So?

The Wright Brothers made planes before Boeing.

Who did it better, and which is around today?

The Trump Tapes - Vol. 1
Guns - he supported an assault weapons ban and a longer waiting period to purchase a firearm.

Healthcare - Trump said he was "very liberal when it comes to health care" and that he believes in "universal healthcare."

Abortion - he was pro-choice and for partial birth abortion.

Hillary Clinton - he said she was a fantastic senator and Obama is a great President.

He was a Democrat 2001 - 2009:

When I lived in the San Francisco Bay area I was registered Democrat so I could vote for the least damaging candidate in the primary. The Republican had zero chance, but I always voted for him in the general election.

Hmmm... OK - and did you share he beliefs on guns, healthcare, taxes, abortion, Hillary and Obama? Because if you did I think you would be considered a Democrat...

Made the issues the centerpiece of the election, made the ideas to fix it mainstream, and gave people the confidence to support it.

Cruz was fighting years before Trump:

Um, Trump is a businessman, not a career politician. Who exactly would he have "fought?"

However Trump proposed 80% of his current immigration plan -- including a border wall -- in his 2010 book "Time to Get Tough". But do you really want to go BACK with Cruz? Because the farther back you go the more Teddy's backed amnesty and birthright citizenship for anchor babies.

I don’t share your confidence - he has given us no reason to trust him - he has flip-flopped on many important issues (in fact 58% of Americans do not trust Trump compared to 57% not trusting Hillary). Would you be giving him the benefit of the doubt if his last name was Romney?

I did the same thing when I lived in NYC...check my FR posts from back then to see if I acted like a Democrat. In many places in America, it is useless to be one party or the other.

In my post I indicated no support of any candidate. I use both hands for gun control, taxes are too damn high, abortion is an abomination, and Hillary and Obama strain the grace of my vocabulary.

Chow for paragraph eater.

I hope this answers your questions.

You’re either with Ted Cruz and the Tea Party army or you’re with the establishment and its crony capitalist billionaire donors who funnel money to Democrats (e.g. Donny the Tramp).

Trump told O’Reilly four years ago that he would only deport the “bad” illegals and he would sort out the good ones and let them stay with legal status.

The only thing he’s changed now is that the “good” illegals have to touch back on their homeland now before coming back in by “expedited” process to get their amnesty.
