Rush is an example of the narrative at the time. You cannot provide for me any quotes-- other than the one in December-- where Cruz does anything other than support legalization of illegal aliens. If you have some quote, some press release, where Cruz or any of the GOP repudiates legalization even after the border is secured, you should provide it if what you claim is true.
And it exposed all the liars in congress and killed the bill.
No one was lying other than-- supposedly-- Ted Cruz who declared he supported legalization. Everyone knew what the Democrats wanted. It was in the bill and they talked about it all the time. And the bill passed the Senate. It was never killed.
See you don’t remember very well. Remember all the lying democrats and GOPe’s that said they wanted a way for them to come out of the shadows and it’s not about getting new liberal voters? So Cruz said ok, since we all agree on legalization then let’s just do that and never allow citizenship. Then the cockroaches went crazy trying to avoid the light he just shined on them.
And anyone with commonsense knows what cruz just did...in fact, the liberals hated him for it and said he doesn’t really want legalization but he wants to stop them from being citizens. So Cruz obviously had to say “Oh now I want more than anything for them to be legal so let’s just do that and not allow citizenship”. He knew they’d run for the hills and he was right. That’s EXACTLY as I remember it at the time.
BTW: I’m not thrilled with Cruz though either. I was pissed about TPP/TPA and hated on him during that fiasco. Since I keep current on issues I don’t need the liars in the press to spin it for me years later.
Sorry Trumpster, but I was watching it very closely during the time and even had a liberal to argue with about what was going on. Cruz was brilliant in his strategy, and further more, he pulled it off.
