Cruz needs to understand that sovereignty is the number one issue this time. Everything he stands for is important, but sovereignty “trumps” everything.

He can step out in front on this. He needs to step out in front.

I’m still trying to recover from Ted’s support of TPP, since he is the smartest man in the room, and then pumping that vote of his all over Aisle 13, where he blames it on McConnell, only because he didn’t listen to Jeff Sessions.

The reason? Ted is FOR TPP, and FOR Amnesty. This is no dope. He just doesn’t want his finger prints on anything GOP. YET!

We are under siege. There are wolves naming the problem, but dare not name the solution. Except for Trump, who intends to break the china, and ignore the wrath.

Go Trump.

Cruz has now had ample time to recant on this H1B scam. You are out of time, Ted. Make the statement, or lose a lot of conservatives. That simple.

I don’t like his position any more than you do. We should be calling and e-mailing his office, particularly Florida FRiends, and letting him know what we think.
Remember, he has to swim in this Beltway morass, like leftys numbed by their own MSM.

A particularly egregious example of this BS is the company that required its employees to train their foreign replacements, and for no pay, somehow conditioning the severance package on compliance.
So I suppose you could argue they were “paid”, but not really.
At the end of the day, it’s the Cheap Labor Express, or as Popeye’s Pappy put it,
“I don’t care what you call it, son.
“`Greens’. `Victory Salad’.
“It’s spinach and I say to Hell with it!”

I’m a Trump supporter. I doubt Cruz will change his position - remember, Goldman Sachs contributes to his campaiogn and they are for amnesty. Club For Growth likes Cruz - and they are also for amnesty open borders. So, no, I won’t email him.

Cruz' H1B position is one of the principal reasons I have not yet formally come out in support of his candidacy. The Iran vote was another. TPA was a third, which may have been tactically defensible, but was politically stupid.

If Ted Cruz shows the moral courage to admit that he was wrong about any of these, I'm all in, as at that point, I believe the data will convince him of his error on the H1B position.

He already admitted he was wrong about TPA, because of the immigration issues. That is why he changed his mind and voted against it on the final vote.

I hope he will change his position on H1-B visas. I wrote a letter to his campaign expressing my concerns.

On the big issues that matter most to me, Cruz is solid.

Yes. I read his reasoning behind that vote. It was the best chance we had of slowing down Obama from lifting the sanctions. His amendment would have strengthened the bill, but of course the McConnell led Senate never listens to sound ideas.

Tactically intelligent, politically stupid.

I doubt Cruz will change his position on H1B visas....Goldman Sachs contributes to his campaign and they are for amnesty. Club For Growth likes Cruz - and they are also for amnesty open borders.

Cruz's wife is a Goldman Sachs exec.... she served on the "North American Union task force," and supported their report called Building a North American Community.

That effort was sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations in association with the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales.

NOTE: translated into English that means forget US sovereignty....just eradicate US borders.

Also remember Goldman Sach and stimulus TAX$$$ they got and all the Fanny & Freddie and The Insurance people they took for MILLIONS as well. They was in News for long time over the mess……but much was covered by Obama/HRC/US Congress. Cruz is not better than Rubio or Jeb on illegals or H1B Visas people. They R all coming to steal R jobs from kids…..

Amen....thanks for the reminder.

Wall Street types like G/S know how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher's weigh-in.
