Related— some on the Board have contested that Ted Cruz’s amendment to the Gang of Eight Amnesty Bill regarding citizenship was not a “poison pill”— The evidence that it was is that both Jeff Sessions and Mike Lee, (obviously opposed to legalizing illegals) voted FOR it.

A number of the folks who are doing the “contesting” are doing it as part of their anti-Cruz jihad.
The “poison pill” was never inserted into the bill nor did it ever have a chance. The bill passed easily thru the Senate 68 to 32. Cruz claimed that if the “poison bill” were included, the Gang of 8 bill would pass easily thru the House. If that happened, we would have tripled legal immigration over the next decade to 30 million and we would have increased H-1B visas by 500%. Some poison pill.
Yeah, it’s pointless to argue with them...every one of them is a Trump supporter...The entire idea of conservatives supporting Trump is some sort of mental issue...methinks...
It has to be because they are not critically thinking...they are just reacting to the immigration play.
Since Cruz is the other candidate for conservatives, (there are no others) he becomes the enemy of Trump, therefore the enemy of his supporters.
I suspect we may see some change in that by the time primaries start, but it may not happen at all. If it continues in this way and Trump gets the nomination, I really don’t yet know what I will do. I just can’t support him and my allegiance to the party has been broken for some time.
It’s just another freekin election where I have no candidate. I suppose I should be accustomed to it, but prior to this election I made a pledge to myself that I would no longer tow the line with the RNC.
