I remember very well what Cruz was doing in 2013. He was not doing what you assert.
Its just that simple. Any attempt to suggest otherwise is either ill informed or dishonest.
I have provided documented facts to support my contention that Cruz invented his poison pill excuse so he could adopt Trumps position on immigration once Cruz recognized Trumps' position was popular with the voters. He did the exact same thing on his support of TPA/TPP so there is a little history of Cruz inventing excuses so he could flip flops on unpopular issues. You on the other hand only make assertions. Not a good debating technique BTW.
Time to go have a beer, we can continue the discussion later. Have a nice weekend.
