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."

“In any case, Senator Sessions will have a very good working relationship with President Cruz.”

In your dreams, perhaps.

In the meantime some of the rest of us are living in the real world...

". . . he may find it lacking."

Oh ? So principles aren't the first thing Ted Cruz considers after all.

Almost a nice try...still does not negate what Cruz did and the decisions he made including partnering with that lunatic Glenn beck.

Cruz voted for TPP
Cruz voted for Corker’s Iran nuke bill - THAT is pure treason!
Cruz donated $250k to NRSC that immediately engaged in voter fraud in Mississippi

...and so much more.

A Republican candidate needs to win 1,237 of the 2,472 total delegates in order to become the presumptive nominee.
Marco “Gang of Eight PRO-AMNESTY BILL” Rubio’s PRIMARY GOAL IS

TO GET THE “ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS”
TO A BROKERED CONVENTION !

His job is to PREVENT ANYONE from obtaining enough delegates in The 2016 Endorsement Primary, so that

it will THROW the ELECTION into the “ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS’ “ CONTROL !


You are absolutely correct. Besides informing people, what other course of action do you suggest for Free Republic and like-minded others?

I see Sessions as director of Homeland Security. He’s going to make things happen, and Uniparty drama queens are going to try to paint the Cruz administration as `A Handmaid’s Tale’.
Another important appointment is going to be Sec. of the Interior. Sarah Palin. She can straighten out the fed’s fav song: “This land is our land, this land is our land” mess.
Go Trump. Full speed ahead.

Hopefully Sessions will prevent Trump from allowing 'the good (illegals), of whom there a many', back in on an expedited basis, as he's promised.

Your patriotic head might pop.

Exactly right .. Are Levin and Beck going to start trashing Sessions now ? Can’t wait to hear their idiotic globalist shows tomorrow ...

I stopped listening to RushRINO 2-3 years ago but I will listen to his opening monologue to see if he discusses the FOX/Amnesty dishonesty and the Sessions endorsement.

I expect RushRINO will talk around his errors and deception but not take responsibility for his actions and dishonesty.

The only vile comment so far, is you suggesting that those of us who support Cruz don’t care about this country. I see Trump for what he is, Trump supporters see him for what they want him to be. We have already had 7 years that kind of candidate.

The slimy rattle snake.


You don’t help yourself with a remark like this.

Thank goodness very few here are so bitter and vitriolic as to say such a nasty thing.

Didn’t your parents teach you anything about grace and good sportsmanship?

I hope so for your sake, since nobody showed up here to trash Sessions, as forecasted by your friends.
