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."

I think your position is reasonable and admirably loyal.

I look forward to uniting with you behind one candidate, once the dust and settled, to fight Hillary.

Cruz actually said either he or Rubio would make a better president than Trump. Stop lying.

Good for you. I admire loyalty.

We'll soon by on one team. Whether it is Cruz or Trump... Dear Lord, even Rubio... we'll have to be united to beat Hillary in November.

32,000 inside the stadium. 3,000 outside who couldn’t get in.

Cruz may not treat everyone that way but many of his most strident supporter treat anyone who doesn’t worship Cruz with the disrespect being shown to Sessions.

I'm with Cruz until he wins or drops out.

Trump will be a cold consolation, but if necessary I'll vote for him and leave the rest in the hands of God.

President Cruz? On what planet is this a reality?

I’m going to sit back and read the vile comments that attempt to destroy Sessions, just as the same posters flung mud at Sarah.

I sincerely do NOT believe you people give a hot damn about this nation, at all. Fantasizing over Cruz is child’s play, snap out of it!!!

Get off the computer, go into town and report back how many illegals/immigrants you see milling around. It might suit you fine, to million of us, it sux!!!

Unfortunately instead of doing what Cruz wanted, the Senate agreed with what Rubio and Trump publically advocated for, that illegals needed to stay here and be legalized.

Unlike you, I hold that against Rubio and Trump, not Cruz who was right on the issue by voting against the bill.

Even if that’s what he said though I heard it a bit different, Cruz is still siding with an amnesty lover over someone who has pledged to secure the border and deport. You can’t defend Cruz for that, it’s unconscionable.

Time for Republicans to unite and focus on the real enemy: Hillary Clinton and her gang.

This will be our biggest battle EVER. And you are right. United we stand.

Failure cannot be an option.

Depends on your definition of 'siding with' is.

He's running against the front runner. Its called a campaign. Your guy's ahead. You should learn not to take things so personally.
