January 5, 2016Trump Unleashed a Major Immigration Criticism on Ted Cruz - But Here's the Whole Story
.....On CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Trump called Cruz out:
"[T]he other day.... I was watching Ted talk, and he said, 'We will build a wall.' The first time I've ever heard him say it... I was strong on the border, and I'm the one who came up with it."
But Cruz has been adamant about a border wall since his Senate bid back in 2012, when he went so far as to push the idea, even if it meant taking private property away from landowners......."

So if Cruz is such a great supporter of a wall, why hasn’t he mentioned it once since 2012? Maybe he said it in 2012 to get elected?

Trump seems to talk about it more than Cruz. Cruz should have been on top of this issue 20 years before Trump being from a border state. Trump's just a flamboyant businessman from New York. Steve King in 2007:

But I thought no one, not anyone, knew or cared about the border until Clintons-supporting-and-funding-candidate-for-the-first-time Trump came along. How can it be that Cruz knew about this issue before Trump?

So much for the notion Cruz “borrowed” the border wall idea from Trump. Both men are right on this issue... but the idea Cruz didn’t back a stronger border before Trump is false.

Once again Cruz is caught acting consistently.
Good find.

..Duncan Hunter was right about The Fence--before everybody.
But today, Ted Cruz, as a full-spectrum conservative, is the best representative of DH's position on the border IMHO...

Trump is factually challenged on more than one front. Thinking FReepers know this.
"My touchstone for every question is the Constitution," Cruz said
We know this is true as well. Amazing that he doesn't enjoy unanimous support on this pro-God, pro-Constitution, pro-America site.
