Potential rivals Cruz, Trump play nice (Press using the term "undocumented immigrants" again)
WVTM-TV ^ | July 15 2015 | Eric Bradner, CNN

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and their wives were scheduled to have lunch in New York City in June, before the real estate mogul became a candidate for president.

Senate votes intervened and Cruz couldn't make it and the two postponed.

A month later, the two Republican presidential candidates -- this time, without their wives -- finally got together Wednesday afternoon at Trump Tower. Trump said Cruz had called him Tuesday to ask for the meeting.

And in that time, what would have been a low-key meeting took on new importance. Trump surged to first place in the GOP primary polls, and Cruz's warm words toward Trump separated him from a crowd of candidates denouncing the real estate mogul over his controversial remarks about undocumented immigrants...

What won't the media lie about? And are there no editors working anymore?

I've said for the last couple or elections that candidates need to learn to draft.

Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

Trump on Cruz:

“They hit [Ted Cruz] harder than they hit the Democrats. If they’d hit the Democrats that hard, it would be a lot easier in life, but he took a stand and it was a brave stand,” Trump said, adding, “He really is a special guy.”

"...controversial remarks about undocumented immigrants..."

I don't think Trump said anything about "undocumented aliens," he did mention illegal aliens though. And what was controversial about his comments?

I’ll guarantee this wasn’t the first conversation between these 2.

Also don’t you love how the press phrased what Trump said; That Cruz called and “asked” for the meeting.

The media is scared to death of these guys. Watch for more vitriol from the MSM, and watch these 2 rise in the polls.
Trump ignores them, and Cruz destroys their arguments.

It’s The Ministry Of Propaganda.

It’s what they do.

Immigrants are people who apply in their home country to be Americans, wait their turn, learn the language, pay their fees and comply with the laws.

Illegal aliens do none of that.

They sneak in or overstay visa, obtain fraudulent documents to continue their illegal presence (they are never undocumented, Mexico provides them consular matricula cards), ignore all the laws and collect benefits to which they are not entitled.

The Ministry Of Propaganda insults immigrants every time they conflate them with illegal aliens.

The TV station is in Birmingham, but they're using a CNN report. Probably all but a few news outlets are PC enough to say "undocumented" immigrant.

For the sake of consistency, bank robbers should now be called "undocumented depositors."

Both said on FOX that they had gotten together several times. They seem to generally respect each other

Great analogy, and I want to hear Trump and Cruz push back at the media and correct their PC crap. Use the proper words over and over again, and every time they try their sh** using the word “undocumented,” jump in and correct them. I know I would.

That would be withdrawers, not depositors if they are doing it right.

I think it’s much more than that.

They are opposite sides of the same coin. They are 5 moves ahead of everyone else on the chess board.

Isn’t that his role as a presidential candidate?

“Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.”

The US press is far too stupid to actually create and coordinate this type of propaganda. I want to know what small group is the source of it. I have some ideas.
