I’m sure you were there and know what was said in the meeting.

But I'm sure you do, because Buzzfeed and Politico told you so.

In 2012 Trump called Romney mean spirited for supporting self deportation.

Then again, Cruz agreed:

"Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay.

"The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight," he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.

This article was originally printed in the Texas Tribune, the contents of which Cruz's team confirmed and proclaimed themselves still supporters of more than a year later when asked by MSNBC:

Time to put to bed the lie that Cruz was just playing political juijitzu, telling lies just to create a narrative to show that the Democrats/Repubs were lying about the Gang of Eight bill.

I do not think that you even believe this field-spread, how could anyone? Ted Cruz killed the Gang of Eight bill with this maneuver and here you are excoriating him for it. Shame on you.
