Mark says he is voting for Trump, but doesn’t like the way Trump conducted himself in the primaries, still thinks we made the wrong choice and the Republican party is ruined, thinks Trump is unreliable, and thinks Cruz was perfect or more perfect.

Let’s see.

Cruz used dirty tactics during the campaign, attacked Trump from the left in closed door donor meetings, didn’t honor his pledge, sided with the never trump movement as their RNC vote agenda was to allow delegates to “vote their conscience” funny that Cruz used those same words.

Mark, You want to talk reliability and flip flops? Cruz was for the Government collecting bulk data then he was against it.

He was against Obama’s plans for the Syrian refugee’s and called his plan “lunacy” in a CNN Interview, but then in the Judiciary Committee SH-216 he WELCOMED the Syrian refugee’s and said “I think the United States should always be a clarion voice for freedom”.

He did an interview on The Blaze stating that he “The last thing we should do is send Troops to Syria and put our troops in harms way” He said we “don’t have a dog in the fight”. And shouldn’t be getting involved in their Civil war and that we should focus on America. Then in the CNN debate he says he would “Carpet Bomb ISIS into oblivion and test if sand can glow in the dark”. His exact words to a Fox reporter were “I don’t believe the answer is sending boots on the ground in Syria”. Then in a Fox interview he was asked “You’ve said you wouldn’t put boots on the ground in Syria to fight ISIS” and he said “That’s actually not what I said, I said we need to do whatever is necessary to defeat ISIS” but I can link videos proving he said NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

He said he wanted to ban the TSA then later on when he released his list of agencies he would eliminate the TSA was not on the list.

In 2013 Ted Cruz did an interview on Fox news where he was for improving the federal database for gun ownership and Universal Background checks saying it was a “common sense improvement”. Then in 2015 he said that the only way to implement Universal Background checks would be to make a federal registry of every gun owner in America and that would “be wrong, and Unconstitutional”.

In 2013 he was for Legal status for undocumented Immigrants, Bret Baire called him out on this and played the tape for him. In the video he talks about an amendment to the gang of 8 bill that would make “Those who are here illegally to come out of the shadows”. But we all know in this election he was “against the gang on 8 bill”. But Bret Baire called him out again with quotes of Cruz’s that said “If this amendment were to pass, the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically”. He even stated a few weeks later that his amendment was the compromise that can pass the bill. He has said during this election that he was against the gang of 8 bill but his amendment and comments prove otherwise.
Mark, You think overstayed visas are the number 1 problem with illegals. Well, Cruz said in 2016 he would immediately suspend the H1-B visa program for 180 days, but in 2013 during the Executive Business Meeting on S. 744 he said he wanted to increase the skilled workers from the H1-B visa program by 500%.
He also said in an interview in 2014 about the 14th Amendment and Birthright Citizenship “as much as someone may dislike the Policy of Birthright Citizenship, it’s in the US constitution, and frankly the arguments against it don’t make any sense”. But in 2016 in a Face The Nation interview he says “I think Birthright Citizenship as a policy matter doesn’t make sense. We have right now upwards to 12 million people living her illegally. It doesn’t make any sense that our law automatically grants citizenship to their children because what it does is incentivized additional illegal immigration.”
These are all exact quotes from him, so to say that Trump is a huge flip flopper and unreliable but Cruz is not and is perfect is VERY ignorant of you Mark... I can provide my sources if you wish, but Cruz has flip flopped for years, his position depends on the issue of the day and the audience in front of him...
