This entire Cruz immigration initiative had to have been months in the planning, and now launched.

Started with the debate; then the attack on Rubio that was coordinated with talk radio (Ingraham, Gallagher, Limbaugh), conservative blogs (Breitbart, Dan Horowitz) and politicians (King, Sessions); and then finally, the comprehensive immigration plan.

No one was going to get to the right of Cruz on immigration, it was just a matter of timing.

That's why it's fun supporting Cruz-- there's always a plan.

Thank God for Steve King and Jeff Sessions.
Without those two, the Cheap Labor Express may have already have stolen our country.

Rubio, ya should really stop taking advice from Karl Rove.

Wait, ah no. You just keep on taking advice from old ham-face.

There has been speculation that this attack could prove problematic for Cruz, especially if a candidate like Donald Trump, who has a very loud megaphone on the subject of immigration, were to seize on it and attack him from the right.

*************
One might have expected Trump to corner Cruz on this issue; but Trump didn’t; instead, counter-intuitively, Trump has attacked Cruz’s biggest roadblock in Iowa, Carson.

Listen to Cruz’s 2013 speech i8n his own voice, and make up your mind accordingly, instead of listening to 3rd hand interpretations.

“One might have expected Trump to corner Cruz on this issue; but Trump didn’t; instead, counter-intuitively, Trump has attacked Cruz’s biggest roadblock in Iowa, Carson.”

I think they are teaming up. Cruz to take on Rubio and Trump to take on Carson. Go Trump/Cruz

one thing is crystal clear: cruz wasn’t a member of the gang of 8. rubio was it’s co-leader.

rubio is obviously prepared to lie his way to power. as with all leftists, the end justifies the means. he was obviously lying in wait for cruz’s missive.

. he [Rubio] was obviously lying in wait for cruz’s missive.
*****************

You’re right...and Cruz was waiting for it. That’s why he lined up conservative talk radio, blogs and politicians in advance- and they’re nailing Rubio as King did in this article.

“We stopped the Gang of Eight bill. Ted Cruz led the fight against the establishment. We would be living under amnesty right now if Cruz had not succeeded.”... Rush Limbaugh.

He has to take them on one at a time. They have the same natural constituency.

Why should anyone depend on some other’s interpretaion of what Cruz said? Watch the actual video of what Cruz actually said and judge for yourself.

Must really stink to see your false narrative blow up right in front of your face.

You would agree it doesn’t make any sense for Trump to attack Carson, wouldn’t you?

Time to find out if our Embassies in Mexico are getting complaints from Americans living or retired there and are sitting on them.

No, only the trajectory of the attack.

His "pathological" characterization was already the dominant theme in the press, and Trump should have sealed the deal with an attack on Amnesty, Puerto Rico, TPP etc.

But I am certain that the GOP field is too big and needs to be winnowed to 4-6 candidates today.

Carson's natural constituency is the same as Cruz'. We only need one of them.

Point is obvious. Always make up your own mind by watching the actual video yourself. Why depend on other politician’s opinions when a video is available?
