Cruz said NBC "is engaging in political correctness that is silly and that is wrong." "I don't think you should apologize for speaking out against the problem that is illegal immigration. I recognize that the PC world of the mainstream media, they don't want to admit it, but the American people are fed up," he said. "Donald Trump is exactly right to highlight the need" to crack down on illegal immigration. Asked if Mexican migrants are "mostly" rapists and drug dealers, Cruz replied: "They're not mostly that. But Donald Trump — he has a way of speaking that gets attention. And I credit him for focusing on an issue that needs to be focused on." Trump appreciated Cruz's comments, tweeting a "thank you" to him Tuesday morning:

RE: Other Than Ted Cruz, No Other Candidate has Supported Trump

ONLY on Trump’s statement about illegal immigration.

Let’s not give the impression that he and Trump agree on most other issues.

Trump is a huge supporter of Hillary Clinton. Take what you want from the fact that (1) the race he jumps into is the best Republican field since 1980, after some absurdly weak fields, (2) he’s positioning himself to draw support from everyone but Bush, (3) Bush is the only candidate likely to lose to Clinton.

He’s called Bill Clinton the best president in his lifetime. I agree entirely with this prediction by Hot Air columnist Allahpundit:

“Here’s the easiest prediction of the election, dedicated to everyone who thinks Trump’s days of boosting Hillary are behind him. He’ll spend the next six months tearing down the most credible candidates in the GOP field, and then, when he eventually drops out of the race, he’ll reserve his harshest criticism during next year’s general-election campaign for the GOP nominee rather than Hillary.”

No matter who the 2016 GOP candidate is, Freepers will reject him.

FR has never supported a GOP candidate.

Soros thanks you.

The superior Cruz brain is showing, again.

Would that they all speak truth to power, and pepper it with some Trump styled bravado, then we could move the dial.

I’m a Cruzer, the more I see of this gentleman the more I like him AND the more I see of the others, The more I like him.

Cruz remembers the Eleventh Commandment. Though calling Donald Trump a “Republican” requires a corollary.

[RIghtwardHo]

Nor should they.

[Terry L Smith]

Whether it is Mr. Cruz, or Mr. Trump, or some other putz, when you run for the President of The United States, you also have another person that is with you, and might become, the VICE PRESIDENT, no?

Or did ya’s fuhgit d’at fact?

Cruz knows what the others are too frightened to admit: The WHITE VOTE is the only way a Republican candidate can win. Romney could have won 70% of the "Hispanic" vote and still lost. But had he captured merely an additional 4.5 PERCENT of the White Vote, he would now be president.

I like Cruz. I like Trump. One difference is that Trump can’t be owned by the lobbyists who have destroyed this nation. Ted leans to the globalist side. I don’t like the H1B visa increase he supports, and I don’t like Cruz being taken in by McConnell in support of TPA. Sorry. Yes he said he made a mistake. But that mistake was a whopper. I think Cruz needs a bit of seasoning before being POTUS.
