Well, maybe Cruz is not talking tough enough for you on the deportation issue but what you quoted is not an attack on Trump... it is simply a statement of his own position.
He clarified his intentions on this matter again yesterday outlining specific steps he would take which may not be as satisfying as some of Trump’s bombast but would work.
“...but what you quoted is not an attack on Trump... it is simply a statement of his own position.”
Yes, but he was CONTRASTING his position with the supposed Trump position.
