Characterizing Cruz trying to get the best possible outcome for border control as an endorsement of Rubio’s amnesty doesn’t do your credibility any good.
Nor does your accusing a good man of lying.
If that bill had passed, we would not be talking about deportation today. We'd be talking about whether to grant or not to grant citizenship to "former" illegals, because they'd be marching in the streets right next to Black Lives Matter demanding their right to naturalize.
A failure to vet your own candidate or to acknowledge what he's been doing doesn't reflect well on your credibility.
Nor does your accusing a good man of lying.
But accusing him when you can prove it is something else entirely. After reading Cruz's own statements, is this reply from Team Cruz honest?
Benjy Sarlin: @RealBPhil Okay so to be 100% clear: If his amendment succeeded, he still would not have supported work permits for existing undocumented?
Brian Phillips: .@BenjySarlin 100% clear: Cruz’s amendment had nothing to do with that issue.
