And you must parse what Cruz is saying now. Has Cruz said we must deport all the illegal aliens or that we need to construct a fence/wall/physical barrier along the southern border? Trump has produced a detailed position paper on immigration. Cruz has not.
Still, Trump has apparently changed on this issue, yet that doesn't bother you a bit?
“What I find intriguing is the coordinated effort by conservative media to not allow Rubio to redefine himself.”
Rubio established his pro-Amnesty record back when he was the leader of the Florida House.
Rubio didn’t first start putting illegal aliens ahead of Americans with the Gang of Eight, he had been doing it for years. He would have to whitewash his entire past in order to “redefine” himself.
Trump has turned to Jeff Sessions for advice and counsel on the issue and the product was the best position paper on immigration ever offered by a Presidential candidate. I can only hope that Trump abides by his promises if he gets into the WH. Except for Santorum who has no chance, there is no other candidate who comes even close to Trump on the issue, which I consider the defining issue of our time. If we don't turn things around on immigration, everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Rubio is such a big, slow moving target here. He’s going to go down in flames. The GOPe tried to protect him after the Gang of Eight fiasco by pulling him from the public eye immediately, but it’s far too late for him.
More than anything, I love what he's done to the race, just worry about being bit in the rear end by this all.
We have trusted the GOP to do something about a host of issues including immigration, Obamacare, the debt, etc. They have not kept their promises. It is time to see if someone who is not part of the political class can clean the Augean stables. Special interests own both parties. The big loser is the American people.
