Will this be the MSM’s full frontal assault #1293?

[Mariner]

"Let’s see what the Donald has to say about this?"

He could simply say that it is a change in rules so he will not participate.

What debate could there be without him?

[Rebelbase]

* My main issue with Trump is ED *

According to every 4th commercial on Fox News there is medicine for that now.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Awesome. Just check with your state laws and make sure you can vote in the Primaries.

[Mariner]

"And put a Clinton in the White House a la Perot"

I would rather lose with Trump than win with anyone else.

And there's 10's of millions like me.

GOP needs to sh!t or get off the pot.

[hsmomx3]

I think I will change after the primaries or else I would not be able to vote.

[TexasTransplant]

Anyone that was dumb enough to donate $ to the RNC needs to call and ask for a Refund ASAP

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

They’re counting on it. Even when it’s the Dem or their choice. As long as the status quo is satisfied in DC.

[TexasTransplant]

**** “I think they should all refuse to appear” ****

Linda and Jeb would show

[heights]

I would bet anyone, that sometime during the upcoming CNN debate, CNN will allow question from the audience, they will call on the Gimp, and a Muslim ‘’patriotic’’ family. Wanna bet?

[riri]

Yeeeessss! He should simply live tweet the debate.

[wgmalabama]

Trying to get one of their dorks to take hold. Just one of them. The can’t go into Super Tuesday without the GOPe candidate having a chance. Donald, Ted and Ben will be the only ones left standing after March 1 if the don’t do something. I want Rubio gone!

[Jedidah]

I understand the expanded schedule to include both a CNN debate the first week of January, followed by a Fox Business Network debate the following week.

Why would any of you prefer fewer opportunities for the candidates to talk and for voters to listen? Are you afraid that your candidates will wilt under the light?

The more, the better.

[BBB333]

“He promised not to go independent; I think he should break that promise.”

You know, I really don’t think he has the time to go independent...I could be wrong but he’s on the ballot in many states as a Republican...might be very difficult to change at this late date.

The RNC sure isn’t getting a dime of my money anymore!

Good post, good food for thought.

[IFly4Him]

1. Skip the new debate
2. Take notes and tweet instant responses
3. Hold a rally at the end of the debate and respond further

Let's get VERY CLEAR on TED CRUZ and Immigration:

Immigration

As the son of a Cuban immigrant, Sen. Cruz celebrates LEGAL immigration.
He has championed measures
to secure the border,
reform the LEGAL immigration system,
and uphold the rule of law.

Americans, and particularly Texans, have witnessed the harmful effects of an unsecure border,
endangering the lives both of citizens and those who enter illegally.
President Obama’s policies have encouraged drug smugglers, child abusers, murderers, and other dangerous criminals to traffick immigrant children into our nation under life-threatening conditions.
In the summer of 2013 we witnessed a humanitarian crisis at our Southern Border, propelled by PROMISES OF AMNESTY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE .
Immigrants deserve a better system in which they will be welcomed to the United States safely and with dignity.

As a critical step to protecting families and inviting more people to enter LEGALLY, in 2014, Sen. Cruz proposed legislation TO PREVENT OBAMA FROM ILLEGALLY EXPANDING AMNESTY .
The House acted to solve the ongoing crisis and passed bills that closely mirrored Sen. Cruz’s proposals,
but regrettably the Senate DemocRATS REFUSED TO ALLOW A VOTE on the measures.

In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the “Gang of 8” bill that would
strengthen border security,
expand green card opportunities,
increase high-skilled “H1B” visas, PREVENT ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM RECEIVING WELFARE BENEFITS ,
and enforce the rule of law.

ALSO from On The Issues :

Ted Cruz on Immigration

End Obama's illegal amnesty via Congress' checks & balances
Q: How to respond to the split within your party on immigration?
What you're saying is
that the Republicans should vote to fund the governments for all departments except one:
no funding for the Department of Homeland Security,
which handles immigration, rescinding President Obama's executive action,
and if he vetoes that, he's responsible for shutting down the department.
The problem is
that's almost exactly what you did with the government shutdown across the entire government in 2013 with ObamaCare,
and it backfired badly on your party.

CRUZ: All across this country, Republicans campaigned, saying:
if you elect a Republican Senate, we will stop President Obama's illegal amnesty.
We need to HONOR WHAT WE SAID .
We should use the constitutional checks and balances that we have TO REIN IN THE ABUSE OF POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE.
Step #1 is IF the president implements this LAWLESS AMNESTY, that THE SENATE WILL NOT CONFIRM ANY executive or judicial nominees.


Defund amnesty; and refuse any nominees until rescinded

Q: How would you rescind President Obama's executive action on immigration?

CRUZ: We should use the constitutional checks and balances that we have TO REIN IN THE ABUSE OF POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE .
Step #1 that I have called for is the incoming majority leader should announce IF the president implements this LAWLESS AMNESTY, that THE SENATE WILL NOT CONFIRM ANY executive or judicial nominees,
other than VITALl national security positions,
for the next two years,
UNLESS AND UNTIL the president ENDS THIS LAWLESS AMNESTY .
That is AN EXPLICIT AUTHORITY given TO the Senate.

Q: Are you saying the Senate should REFUSE TO CONFIRM the president's new nominee for attorney general?

CRUZ: We have to REIN IN the executive.
And step #2, we've got is THE POWER OF THE PURSE,
and we should FUND ONE AT A TIME the CRITICAL PRIORITIES of the federal government,
but ALSO USE THE POWER OF THE PURSE TO ATTACH RIDERS .


No path to citizenship for 1.65 million illegals in Texas

When discussing what to do about the 1.65 million ILLEGAL immigrants living in Texas, … CRUZ again said
HE DID NOT SUPPORT A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP FOR ILLEGAL immigrants living in America, …

Give police more power to ask about immigration status

Cruz accused Dewhurst of using his position as head of the Texas Senate to KILL A BILL last year that would have given police more power to ask anyone they detain about their citizenship status--a charge Dewhurst denied.
Both agreed that the US has FAILED TO SECURE ITS BORDER with Mexico,
and said they OPPOSE AMNESTY for ILLEGAL immigrants and the Obama administration's new directive
allowing many young illegal immigrants brought to the US as children to be exempted from deportation.


Boots on the ground, plus a wall

Border wall: James and Leppert OPPOSE A WALL,
Dewhurst and CRUZ tout "boots on the ground" AND A WALL IN SOME PLACES .


Triple the size of the Border Patrol

CRUZ on immigration: Wants to TRIPLE [the]SIZE of Border Patrol.
Says Dewhurst supported in-state tuition for kids of ILLEGAL immigrants.
Dewhurst: I have always been against an amnesty program.
"If they want to be a citizen, they ought to go home and reapply."
Dewhurst says he was against tuition for children of illegal immigrants.


Strengthen border security and increase enforcement

Ted Cruz has worked to STRENGTHEN BORDER SECURITY and help ensure that America remains a nation of laws.
Among other efforts, he has worked on efforts to INCREASE PENALTIES for felons WHO ENTER THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY .
Ted authored a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief on behalf of 10 states in Lopez v. Gonzales,ILLEGALLY .

[CyberAnt]

Who’s “Linda” ..??

[hawkaw]

I kind of think more debates help everyone including Trump on how to improve their debating skills ... just saying.

[heights]

When you have the Majority leader of both house attack the presumptive nominee of their party, its time that party dies. Go third party, destroy these bastards.

Bravo post!
