“When Reagan articulated the 11th Commandment it didn’t mean thou shalt not ever disagree with another Republican,” Cruz said. He didn’t offer specific examples of where he disagreed with Trump. He did say though that he would focus on “substance and policy” when criticizing his GOP primary rivals.
Trump has surged to the top of the field in polls even as he’s received a heavy backlash for saying that Mexico is sending drugs and rapists to the United States through illegal immigration. Trump has also staked out a hard-right position on so-called “sanctuary cities,” where officials don’t detain potential illegal immigrants unless other requirements are also met.
The comments by Cruz illustrate his strategy of running as an unapologetic conservative presidential candidate who’s eager to portray the rest of the field as squishy on issues important to primary voters.
In the same interview, the Texas senator left little wiggle room on his position on the environment and global warming.
“Listen, facts matter, if you look to the satellite data in the last 18 years, there’s been zero recorded warming,” Cruz said. “Now the global warming alarmists, that’s a problem for their theories. Their computer model show massive warming. The satellite says it ain’t happening.”
Asked if global warming was real, Cruz stopped just short of saying no.
“I’m saying the data and facts don’t support it,” Cruz said.

I wish the candidates would blow their race to the White House wide open with an attack not on each other, but an attack on Hillary Clinton. There is a huge mass of material to use against her, starting with “Filegate.” The August 6th debate should be a shooting gallery that blasts Hillary out of the water. I have never seen a politician skate through the political landscape as easy as she does. The Lamestream Media would have a cow if the candidates failed to do a shoot down on Trump and, instead, turned their guns on Hillary. That would be an incredible thing to watch.
