Your list is the one up for examination not mine.
I’m at 100% this year. :-)
No votes have been cast.
So you are [?].
I was able to vote for Sen. Cruz here in TX, so I may be one up on you.
By the way what have you got agains’t Cruz? He was just starting to get some traction and now the kiss of death descends on him. :-)
Ha. Ha.
Just don’t start lovin The Donald and we are good. :-)
You’re safe there.
The Cruz amendment s intent was to place amnesty supporters in an untenable position where their true motives would be exposed. The amendment stripped out all pathways to citizenship from the bill. This amendment, and the subsequent result of it failing, exposed the true intentions of the Gang of 8 supporters, that this was all about creating a permanent Democrat majority and not comporting with their own talking points about the bill.IOW, the Gang of Eight s talking points included the need for more high-skilled workers. So Cruz eliminated the pathway to citizenship and proposed a 500% increase in H1 B visas instead.The Fox News conservatives are scandalously taking this amendment out of context to imply that Cruz actively championed an effort to grant amnesty, albeit without a path to citizenship. In reality this was one of several parallel strategies Cruz employed to blow up the bill and this is why Jeff Sessions voted for the amendment.
His amendment was rejected, exposing the intentions of the Gang of Eight, which was a pathway to citizenship.
I was sweating bullets for awhile there. :-)
Right...
It is an insult to the voters for Cruz not to answer that basic immigration question. He doesn’t because his donors are counting on legalization, which Cruz knows the base opposes.
Then he disingenuously says he is not for amnesty. Legalization is amnesty. Yet, who running is better on the issue? Marginally, Trump is.
