UPSTATE SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE CITES IMMIGRATION ISSUE
Michelle Wiles – one of the Palmetto State’s most influential conservative activists – is leaving the South Carolina leadership team of Ted Cruz and joining the campaign of Donald Trump, sources close to both campaigns told us this week.
The Upstate social conservative – widely known and respected in evangelical circles – had been one of Cruz’s most articulate, well-connected South Carolina supporters.
Now her support will go to “The Donald.”
If this scenario sounds familiar, it should …
This isn’t the first time an influential female Cruz supporter has gone over to Trump’s team … and it may not be the last.
Wiles, who hails from Pickens County, S.C., is best known for her aggressive opposition to a controversial refugee resettlement program which has been supported by S.C. governor Nikki Haley (an ardent Trump critic). In fact Wiles filed a cease-and-desist motion last year seeking to block the U.S. State Department from implementing the program – which Haley’s administration has funded with state tax dollars against the expressed will of the S.C. General Assembly.
Wiles cited the immigration issue as one of her reasons for choosing Trump.
“For months I have been leading the fight on the refugee resettlement issue here in South Carolina – and as much as I respect Senator Cruz’s positions on immigration and a host of other issues, I believe Donald Trump will be a far better advocate for securing our borders and putting a stop to immigration policies that endanger our families and our future solvency,” Wiles said in a statement.
Wiles’ statement added that her choice for president was always going to be one of the anti-establishment options.

Ted’s 2 main campaign themes since Super Tuesday have been “Donald Trump is a bad man” and “I’m not Donald Trump”.
One week from tonight Cruz will be mathematically eliminated.
“It was impressive for a connoisseur of the fine art of prevarication.”
I think they teach that at Harvard Law, just ask his fellow alums Obama and Romney.
Exact same thing happened to me.
I think millions have experienced this. We should give the phenomenon a name. The Ted Turnoff Effect...
She probably figured out that filthy pig Cruz was never serious about the borders.
Especially after he whored himself by hooking up with the Bushes.
It was impressive for a connoisseur of the fine art of prevarication.
Reminds me of a high school saying. “Do you have the audacity to doubt my veracity and to insinuate that I might prevaricate.”
I saw a video of a pack of lies and I was dumbfounded
Here’s a list from of Cruz’ SC team:

Yeah. Top Aide...
How about it, 2dv? You getting tired of the double shifts yet? Maybe it’s time for a switch.
He’s a lawyer....
That’s a perfect hashtag or meme ready to go!
I hope she’s not a mole.
Have to go wash my hands and use eye bleach.
That's when Cruz shed his snake skin. He cannot be trusted to be President.
Yup, I imagine those who are Cruz supporters were also Romney supporters.
“The Face of God” probably tried to perform a “laying on of the hands” and she wasn’t impressed.
