One can now see-- when rubber hits the road-- some real strong, respected conservatives are at the ready to rally around Ted --- it will be timed.
Aw, the sweet sound of the good guys...
Excellent, glad to see Sen. Lee come to Cruz’s defense as well.
It’s good to know there are still a few (very few) principled men left!
I’ll believe Sen. Jeff Sessios over Rubio any time. Rubio is as slick as Billy Jeff Clinton was, and that is not a compliment.
Mike Lee is correct. Ted Cruz did NOT support gang of 8 bill. That bill was path to citizenship.
What Cruz did push for was path to legal status for illegals. In Ted’s own voice...

I’m curious.
Does anyone know if there is a Senate Rule that says you must vote yes for any amendment that you offer up for consideration.
I’m betting YES but I really don’t know.
And for the 100th time—
Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions both voted for Cruz’s amendment for legalization.
Now what’s that tell ya?
Doubt that- but supposedly he’s a decent guy (Limbaugh says) — so, at the least, but he should be embarrassed.
Good to see both Senators Mike Lee & Jeff Sessions standing up and correcting the errors put out there by Senator Rubio. Rubio’s shown of what sort of stuff he’s made.
I’m for Trump, but I don’t buy that Cruz was for amnesty. I get how politics is played. But he really shoots himself in the foot when he answers questions with lawyer-speak like “I have no intention of voting for it”. Maybe using weasel-words is just a habit of being a lawyer.
How can you be so obtuse as to not understand what has been explained over and over again? Mike Lee, Sessions and Cruz have explained the strategy behind offering that amendment several times.
And for the 100th time—
Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions both voted for Cruz’ amendment for legalization.
Now what’s that tell ya?

IMHO, I think for the 100th time, it went over his head.
It’s just too bad Trump was never in a position to back his past policies with votes. His supporters are operating on blind faith and are completely unwilling to hold him to account for his many liberal positions. At the same time, they deliberately misstate Cruz’s positions despite the evidence and testimony of other credible Senators and Representatives.
While Ted Cruz stood his ground joined by Mike Lee, and Jeff Sessions and there is a question of who to trust. What the hell kind of media driven world is this?
Well that’s 2 out of the only 4 senators (one being Cruz) worth a sh!t backing Ted up.
Not even Mike Lee & Jeff Sessions can be right 100% of the time. Both are right 99% of the time. No human is perfect. Only God is perfect.
Not blind faith. It’s a reasoned judgment of the man based on his words and personality. Whatever any of his opinions in the past were I think he is in it first because he loves his country, and second as his legacy. So he has every reason to keep his word. Promises made now are not the same thing as an opinion years ago. It’s too bad a lot of you Cruz or Lose crowd can’t discuss Trump without insulting the intelligence of his supporters.
