After he voted for cloture.
And he was the one who said that was the favorite way for RINO’s to cover themselves. Vote for cloture to advance the bill and then vote against it.

If he had not voted for cloture, it would have died.

Not sure why anyone would be shocked at this. Trump’s views align with the establishment. He’s defended Mitch McConnell and has talked about the importance of making more deals with Pelosi and Reid. They’ll get along swimmingly with a President Trump

Here is Trump 25 years ago saying the same pro-American things he is saying now and explaining how Japan then was doing to the USA what China is today:

http://toprightnews.com/video-uncovered-trump-interview-from-over-25-years-ago-will-shock-a-lot-of-people/

Only Trump will build the wall. Only Tump will stop China. Only Trump ( And I) understand what China is doing to the USA.

President Trump will tame China! China has been eating our lunch as China makes everything.China uses unfair trade deals against the USA. Where the factories are ,the technology is and so is the power and wealth.China knows this ,S Korea, Japan all of Asia knows this. No one understands this here in America except me and Trump!

I used to be a strong Ted Cruz supporter, he and Trump my top two candidates. I even overlooked Cruz and loony Beck handing out Teddy Bears to illegal alien gang members. Around the time of the Iowa caucuses, Cruz and his campaign started changing. The Dr. Carson incident, some ads that were misleading, etc.

His performance during this last debate, though not as bad as grinning Rubio's, was a turn-off. He and Rubio made a farce of the debate. Did you see him shake hands with Robot Rubio of the Gang of 8? Yes, Cruz is an establishment guy. Does Cruz really think that by attacking Trump he will win over Trump's followers?

Ah, reverse-psychology............ Glad I could help.......anytime. TED CRUZ 2016 nothing less will do.

See, there you go. By fighting Cruz, they really want to vote for Cruz, right? Isn't that your argument? That they only appear to be against Trump, but maybe they want to figure that out so you'll vote for Cruz instead thinking he's the one, when really he is their double-secret candidate. As you said, you can NEVER get ahead of their deception. Are you really that gullible? lol

I’m sorry but in my mind that argument makes no sense.

They wanted Bush, but after Trump took out their chosen son, they will now glom onto the guy who ruined their plans.

I guess we just see it differently.

And sadly, Cruz seems to be aligning with Rubio. Which is the second negative I have had against him, the first being his support for H-1B which Trump forced him to walk back.

Trump has never talked of backing Rubio. Nice try, though.

Now, wipe the spittle off your glasses.

From the full article that Breitbart excerpted from Politico
5. Cruz has been completely marginalized on the eve of Super Tuesday.

If Rubio saw his dream news cycle snatched away by Trump, he can at least take solace in knowing that he is, at least for the moment, Trump’s top target—not essentially forgotten like Ted Cruz. The Texas senator, whose path to the nomination hinges on steamrolling across the South on Tuesday’s SEC primary, has been relegated to an afterthought just days ahead of those critical contests.

He’s been on that gravy train, he’s not going to slow it, and according to Carter, Trump’s malleable.

Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, which was the law in effect when Cruz was born, per section 320 Ted Cruz is not a Natural Born citizen, a fact that would be brought up at the Convention:
CHILD BORN OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES OF ONE ALIEN AND ONE CITIZEN PARENT AT TIME OF BIRTH; CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH CITIZENSHIP AUTOMATICALLY ACQUIRED

Sec. 320. (a) A child born outside of the United States, one of whose parents at the time of the child’s birth was an alien and the other of whose parents then was and never thereafter ceased to be a citizen of the United States, shall, if such alien parent is naturalized, become a citizen of the United States, when -

(1) such naturalization takes place while such child is under the age of sixteen years; and

(2) such child is residing in the United States pursuant to a lawful admission for permanent residence at the time of naturalization or thereafter and begins to reside permanently in the United States while under the age of sixteen years.

Ted Cruz was born outside of the United States in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His father at the time of birth of Ted Cruz on 22 December 1970 was an alien in relation to the United States, having Cuban citizenship and Canadian Permanent Resident status on the path to Canadian citizenship afterwards. Ted Cruz attained the age of sixteen years on 22 December 1986, at which time his alien father was a Canadian citizen and was not naturalized as a U.S. citizen. Accordingly, Ted Cruz did not meet the conditions necessary to "become a citizen of the United States" as required by Public Law 414 Section 320 CHILD BORN OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES OF ONE ALIEN AND ONE CITIZEN PARENT AT TIME OF BIRTH; CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH CITIZENSHIP AUTOMATICALLY ACQUIRED
