I was donating to Cruz, arguing for Cruz on every issue. And then he hit us with his double-down-dare-ya on the H1B visa. Then he told us TPA was clean as the driven snow...even though WE knew it meant easy access for Obama to a flood of immigration via TPP.
I wrote them and told them they were wrong. An intermediary said they'd get back with me. They didn't. They dug in to their position.
I'm here to tell you Cruz shot himself in the foot and has probably irreparably injured his candidacy. He's at 4% in the first debate poll that Fox will use to provide entry to the debate. They will allow the first 10 into the debate. Cruz stands now at #9.
Not only was I not a hater, I was a fired up supporter. Then my candidate told me to take a hike.

I’m in the same boat, FRiend. I’m deeply disappointed in Cruz.
However, I can see how Cruz decided to support it. A lot was pushing him that way: Big donors in favor, general inclination to free trade, wife with background in intl business at Goldman, desire to moderate his image, etc.
IMO, this issue was the perfect storm and Cruz could not see the forest through the trees.
