Yahoo is hardly the source for analyzing the Republican viewpoint.
Cruz has never, ever championed the wholesale deportation of illegals. He has expressed his own ideas on the subject many times.
He does not want Syrian refugees, who clearly cannot be vetted, to be admitted to the US.
As for not wanting registries of Muslims, this seems reasonable. There are already databases for suspected extremist Muslims (if Obama has not gutted it).
We are all in government databases. To believe there should not be databases for a specific religion seems reasonable. I would be upset to learn there was a database for Christians.
The left wants to manufacture problems. Policy differences between Trump and Cruz will come to light, as they should, but I do not believe they will do it in a vicious way.
Trump already, months ago, questioned Cruz’ Canadian birth and, as I recall, Cruz made little. or limited, response.
Maxine Waters said that Barack Obama and the Democrats were building an amazing database on the voters in this country (individual profiles).
You can bet your bippy that it would include religious perspective (or opposition to organized religion).
But you wouldn't be surprised would you? The military used to keep track of your religious preference and tax records reveal donations along with census questions that they are not supposed to ask.
Rush has quoted the Federal law that requires religion must be considered when a person is seeking refugee status.
You can pretty much write the script for when that's going to come up again in Trump's speech...
"So we have a guy, born in Canada...he thinks he can be President. Can you believe this? He's from Canada. Says he's a 'constitutional scholar' but he's from Canada and wants to be President. I don't think so. I don't think so."
"He thinks he's tough, oh, so tough. President of the debate league. He's been in Washington for years but still has no friends...kind of sad if you think about it. Not very popular but wants to be elected President. Some say he's...I shouldn't say this...but, well, he's kind of a nerd! I didn't say it! Running for President but not popular. It's not going to work, folks. It doesn't work that way."
"He's an outsider, supposedly, an 'outsider.' Worked in government for his whole life and he's an OUTsider. I don't get it. But he's so tough. The captain of the debate team...taking on ISIS...and CHI-na. Never created a job in his life and no one likes him. C'mon, folks. Is this a joke? Do they think we're stupid? They think we're stupid."
Huuu well , it would be time to stop abuses of political correctness ( it’s bad for health ) .
ISSlam is NOT a “specific religion” .....among others !
It’s , i would say , a different religion , very different , from the christian religion .
And you , USA , Europe , everyone , has to make a choice .

“Cruz has never, ever championed the wholesale deportation of illegals. He has expressed his own ideas on the subject many times”
That’s why I will never vote for him. We have laws. Not following those laws, letting them stay = amnesty.
