In major blow to Ted Cruz, Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama endorses Donald Trump for GOP nomination
Washington Post ^ | Feb. 28, 2016 | Jose A. DelReal and Robert Costa

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), whose hard-line conservative stances on immigration and trade have made him a favorite of the party’s base, endorsed Donald Trump's White House bid during a joint appearance here in his home state Sunday.

"Politicians have promised for 30 years to fix illegal immigration. Have they done it? Donald Trump will do it," Sessions said at the Madison City Schools Stadium, where thousands gathered to hear Trump speak. "I've told Donald Trump this isn’t a campaign, this is a movement."

If Trump becomes POTUS, he should make Christie AG and put Cruz on the SCOTUS, replacing Scalia. Cruz is only 44; he could be on the court 40+ years, more than two generations.

Sessions is a real conservative. Trump is not.”

Then why is a “real conservative” endorsing a “not real conservative”?

That tells me that fewer and fewer Conservatives are showing up at Free Republic each week

Tearing down the GOPe is very conservative.

So is building a wall.

So is creating jobs in the private sector.

So is shrinking the size of government.

So is placing a hold on Muslims entering the country.

So is protecting the Second Amendment

So is moving control of children's education to a more local level.

And yet you would like us to vote for Cruz whose delegates will go Rubio who we all know is seriously tilting left...You guys don't make any sense...

You know no such thing about Cruz's delegates.

If you are questioning "sense", what sense does it make to support someone who, for the first 60 years of his life, vocally and financially supported leftist candidates and positions, still supports many leftist positions, and only recently, when he wanted to run for president, started mouthing conservative talking points.

Of course, it all doesn't matter, because he'll "build the wall!!!!!!!" and he does a really good job at belittling his opponents.

It's amazing.

It's scary.

“Sunshine Bonehead made deals. I do not want any more deals.’

There is nothing wrong with deals.

What matters is who gets what in the deal. Trump is NOT going to make bad deals for the US.

Cruz and Carson are the only conservative candidates left.

Trump and his supporters have denounced both good men as pathological liars.

Trump and his supporters have attacked Cruz and Carson with more venom than Bernie or Hillary. There’s a lesson there.

If he would have done that before he declared war on Trunp, he could have been a condender for VP, and then in good time, go for president again. Instead, he burned his bridges.

No.

That is having all the right enemies.

Trumps number one enemy is Cruz. Not Hillary not Bernie.

That says a lot.

But it's going to take more than two months just to reach the modest $88,000 first quarter fund raising goal.

It's taken more than two months for several quarters running. This is nothing new.

And so is personally attacking Carson and Cruz.

Oh wait ?

That’s not conservative at all.

LOL!

Cruz had (still has) the chance to get out gracefully and endorse Trump. But time is not on his side.
