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."

And right after Sessions endorsed Trump- Trump started trashing Cruz as a liar and a nasty guy.

Way to go Sessions- you better hope and pray that Trump doesn't turn around and stab you in the back :(

You just turned over your political career to him-Not to mention the future of this nation and whether it survives or not.

You question others patriotism, because they don't support your candidate, and then call me pious for objecting.
I don't hate Trump, I see him for the deeply flawed candidate that he is, and just don't see him winning against the combined Media and Clinton machine. I feel the same way about the state of politics today as you do, but don't think Trump is the way to go.

I don't know what you have done in your life, but for what I've done in mine, I earned the right to be 'PIOUS' about my love of country.

Indeed

It’s pretty hard to geuinely deconstruct Jeff Sessions

His track record has very rarely stumbled

Especially on borders

I have no great affection for Rubio. He is far less conservative than Cruz.

But Trump is anti-conservative so that is rather moot.

I am not trading personal insults about people or candidates.

There is nothing nasty about my posts. As I have noted before, Trump calls Cruz in rallies “a pussy.” That is nasty and vicious

Trump calls Cruz “the worst liar I have ever met” Trump has met a lot of politicians including Bill and Hillary. To call Cruz worse than the Clintons is vicious.

Trump’s attacks on Carson when Carson was rising in the polls were personal and vicious.

His supporters like that. I don’t.

He is accountable for his words whether his supporters like it or not.

I think most of us liked Cruz. I certainly thought he’d make a good VP, a good rudder for Trump.

Things started sounding off before Iowa, now he’s off the rails.

“I am not trading personal insults about people or candidates.”

I’d sure like to see what your output would be if you were trying. Check out these selections and see if any look familiar. None are duplicates BTW:

They perceive him as a cheater because Trump and his followers lie

Trump is anti-conservative and anti-Christian.

Is there such a thing as a Trump-bot? I am curious because I cannot think of a better and more fitting view of their support.

Any Trump supporter is the champion of delusion.

Once his sheeple have been secured he will reveal his New York values in greater candor.

Trump hates Cruz and all of his supporters. It drips from so many trumpsters

As trump digs the hole he needs to dig it wide enough all his followers can loyally jump in with him.

It’s trump and his supporters who lie.

When this struggle started weeks ago I was happy to vote for trump and several other candidates if they beat Cruz (how did that one get in there?)

Trump hates conservatives

Trump hates conservatives

Trump hates conservatives and what they believe.

I don’t think Trump likes Conservatives . I think he hates them in fact. He and his followers attack conservatives at every turn.

Trump needs to drop out. He is unstable.

I can describe why I am supporting Trump.

My Government hates me and one-third of them are GOP.

I don’t need a John McCain or a Mitt Romney to support me.
I for damn sure don’t need a Barry Soerto.

I am done with the media and those they select for me.

Trump has proven he is done with the same.

Heh... If Cruz endorsed Trump, the Cruzies would call Cruz a Nazi for not supporting Cruz.

Watch for Cruz to drop out after Super Tuesday and throw support to Rubio for a possible SCOTUS seat .

Thank you for your post. I agree and as I said I really believe we all want the best for America just differ on what that is. When Cruz ran for the Senate even being from NC ( with our own libs to fight) I contributed to his campaign. Things much later changed for me.

The person I am most disappointed in is Beck. I learned so much from him at one time, attended rallies then he changed so drastically it is scary. I pray for the best guidance for America tomorrow.

The only thing clear here is you haven’t been paying attention.

So says you. Trust me skeet, I’ve more than paid attention, my life is filled to the brim with all things election related.

You have your choice, I have mine. Thankful we live in a country where that is still an option.

I would not want to do a tit for tat as to what you or I have ‘done’ for our nation. Suffice to say we both love our country. If the pious observation was too much, I apologize.

As I told skeeter and others, you have your choice and I have mine. Lucky we both have the opportunity to vote for who we desire.

We are entitled to our own choices, to paraphrase Moynihan, but we aren't entitled to our own facts.

Cruz has been anti-amnesty the entire time he's been in the Senate. The record is clear.

Sessions gets a B from Conservative Review, so he could be Trump's most conservative supporter.
