GOP presidential contender Ted Cruz said Tuesday that he disagrees with rival Donald J. Trump's plan to ban Muslims from coming into the United States until the federal government can ensure that those coming into the nation do not pose a threat to the country.
"I do not agree with his proposal," the Texas senator said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. âI do not think it is the right solution.â
Mr. Cruz said that some have encouraged him to criticize Mr. Trump, but said he will not to so. Instead, he said he is pushing solutions aimed at putting a three year moratorium on refugees from Syria and Iraq, and giving governors more power to stop refugees from being resettled in their states.
Mr. Trump has tangled with most of the candidates in the GOP field ..with the exception of Mr. Cruz .. though he warned at a rally in South Carolina that he will respond in kind if Mr. Cruz attacks him.

Right.
Always enjoy listening to Cruz talk about the Constitution. Never felt like he has leadership qualities we need to save our country. IMO, this confirms the matter.
Go Trump!
In fact the US is an extremely kind nation... the trouble is that it often wastes its kindnesses in situations that it has every reason to know is a waste, the pearls have been dealt to the proverbial swine for decades and the trampling continues, but we tax ourselves to do it anyhow, without any discernment.
Ted Cruz, I hereby wash my hands of you.
You caved to the globalists.
You would cave more if elected. I have one candidate left. Trump.
Ted, they all pose a threat. They are an invasive species, a parasite that kills its host. You don’t get it and its one of the reasons you won’t be President.
Unfortunately that Japan graphic isn’t true and has been debunked.
The point is that Islam is a ticking time bomb and that in the long run your friends and their kin will turn on you and your kin.
By the way I’d put money down that there are USA/University trained Iranian Muslim scientists helping Iran in miniaturizing nuclear warheads that the Iranian Muslims hope to send our way someday.
I have yet to see any recent inflection points showing a "DJT is skyrocketing" trend. He has been up and down +/- 5 points since September. He's lower than his high... I expect even lower today in light of his comments yesterday.
Frankly, DJT has already bamboozled every faux-conservative LIV out there that he possibly can, and as the outlier riffraff leaves the debate stage... the trend we see will continue with Rubio and Cruz trending higher and higher every week:
The Trumpanzees better PRAY TO GOD that when their guy bombs out, Rubio doesn't get it.
The dumb bastards had a shot for a real conservative, and they went with the populist instead.
My thinking on this refugee thing is a Muslim refugee should not set foot in any state in the U.S., continental or Hawaii until they have been preprocessed somewhere very far from our shores. I am thinking along the lines of Guam or Diego Garcia. Process should be slow moving and very thorough, difficult to navigate, which will either bring to us those who are truly in fear for the safety and not a danger to our country or those most committed to acts of terror. Were it the second group, we would have them nicely contained well off our shores until we figure out they are a bunch of radical islamists intent on hurting our country and citizens.
Of course our nitwit in chief will have none of the above, as I am sure doing something reasonable like keeping them off our shores for some period of time would cause more peace-lovers to transform into terrorists.
Well, you could make each one eat while having sexy with a dog on top of a Koran to qualify. That oughtta weed out most of the bad ones.
“Islam has 1.6 billion adherents, making up over 22% of the world population. According to another study in 2015 Islam has 1.7 billion adherents.”
Always subject to abrupt change.
One which was brought about by 2 co-workers(perhaps others)questioning the motives of each others faith/beliefs...which eventually boiled-over and escalated into violence "by the one who happened to have been the only terrorist-in-waiting"...but in who's uncontrollable 'maniacal tendencies' to murder infidels decided to jump the gun and go rogue...for personal reasons.
If true, the question becomes, how many terrorist cells are there in the U.S., where are they located(strategically), and what opportunity/occasion are they waiting for to strike?
...more importantly...WTF is the Gov. doing to prevent/expose/stop/remove them?
...obviously not enough, particularly when shackled by political correctness media/academia/gov. police, not to mention a "Commander and Chief" who wholeheartedly espouses those same destructive beliefs.
There could in principle be better souls than Trump. It appears there are none others placed to help... kind of like Winston Churchill and WWII, forced into a forte. Trump probably never even envisioned addressing this issue. He was concerned with uncontrolled unofficial (but winked-at) Mexican immigration.
I see this as God offering a chance to America. Will it run with the best legs it has or will it hold out, frowning in inaction with arms folded, for the best theoretically possible legs to run with. Maybe God if acknowledged with both thanks and prayer and personal repentances, will bless this unlikely Trump fellow and/or add more help to the scene.
Dang that was “eat pork”
Here, READ the HANDBOOK of ICNA, a MUSLIM group HERE in the USA.
The mother of the SB killer, Syed Farook, is affiliated with them. If you don't feel like reading, watch this short presentation by BPEarthWatch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIfweoUYYH8&feature=youtu.be&t=157
Ditto. Cruz will lose many votes to Trump over this one issue.
Well if it is any consolation to you, your crowd is getting smaller and smaller, both in mind and in scope. As long as that keeps up, no it won’t be Rubio; Trump will carry on to the finish line.
“This is an issue of survival.
Ted Cruz, I hereby wash my hands of you.
You caved to the globalists.
You would cave more if elected. I have one candidate left. Trump.”
Don’t be a Cave Man.
How many jihadis are the Saudis flying in daily on charter flights and having them processed here by Muslim infiltrators working for our government and where are they coming from and going to?
I’m against Christian Syrians and Iraqis and other third worlders emigrating here for a significant period of time too.
They need to fight for their country in their country and take leadership roles there in their country.
I’ll make an exception if a French scientist cures cancer, but that’s pretty much my only reason to give someone a long term visa until we as a nation are confident we rooted out the invading army present since 1965.
