"Principled!"

FR THREAD: Megyn Kelly to Ted Cruz: "The record supports you."

.....Their interview ended this way:

Megyn Kelly: "The record supports you." [Cruz: "Anyone here illegally is permanently ineligible for citizenship."]

"It was a poison pill."

"You do have a consistent record on that; I will give you that; we did look back on it."

So I'm 17....my parents brought me to the US when I was four. I'm graduating from high school in a couple months. Then we are going back to Mexico and waiting in line and will come back legally. My parents have worked all these years in the US on California farms.

Are you telling me that when I come back, that I can never become an American citizen? That's ridiculous.

I saw that too. It would have been nice had the ‘moderators’ worked that vindication into the actual debate instead of allowing Rubio to continue to perpetuate the lie.

Megyn Kelly: “The record supports you.” [Cruz: “Anyone here illegally is permanently ineligible for citizenship.”]

Cruz: “It was a poison pill.”

Kelly: “You do have a consistent record on that; I will give you that; we did look back on it.”

To me the above exchange tells me that she did TOO MUCH DAMAGE to Cruz and was trying to soften the blow a bit, as the above, while true, could have been torn to pieces.

For example: “Anyone here illegally is permanently ineligible for citizenship.”

Both Cruz and Kelly know the word “permanently” DOES NOT EXIST in the legislative world. The next Congress simply re-writes the law...or the Courts simply re-writes the law.

Just one example.
