While Sessions, Cruz, and others on the outside like myself were fighting the worst immigration bill of our generation in 2013, Trump was promoting the Dream Act.  When it really mattered he wasn’t with us.

What was Trump’s vote on the Dream Act?

The GOPe is getting desperate! I love it!!

[SoConPubbie]

In before the Trumpsters trash Horowitz!

In before the Trumpsters trash Horowitz for speaking the truth!

As Phil Robertson says, “It’s now or never.” Conservatives will figure out who’s with us.

what someone states about Kim Davis is meaningless to me - otherwise we’d all be supporting the huckster.

[paintriot]

BS

[VanDeKoik]

“Where was he on these issues when it mattered prior to running for president? “

Being a private citizen?

The question is WHY did wonder-candidate Cruz and the rest of the GOP suck so badly on reigning in this out of control government.

Bunch of insiders and talking heads chiding Trump for not stopping the stupidity of DC. What nerve!

[SandRat]

Trump = Coin Face of Bat-Man.

And under the buss he goes!

But isnt it time for a serious discussion about whether we are really certain we know what the day after looks like with a Trump nomination given his track record, even as it relates to immigration?

A question to ask concerning any candidate, and especially Ted Cruz who, until Trump announced almost three months after Cruz, and blew up the primary with his stances on illegal immigration and one-sided trade deals, all Cruz had said on immigration was how he wanted to quintuple H1-Bs and streamline legal immigration and make it something to celebrate.

And, of course, Cruz joined the Uniparty globalist sorts in casting his vote to help the TPA, fast track trade authority, over the 60 vote hurdle.

Cruz has made many changes in his immigration stances since Trump made the issue among the top issues of the campaign. Based on his past stances and flip/flops since Trump's entry into the race, Horowitz definitely needs to have Cruz at the top of his list of those to scrutinize much more closely, along with Marco Rubio, both based on inconsistencies on the critical issues of immigration and one-sided trade deals. "What the day after looks like", indeed.

I absolutely do not trust Cruz on those critical issues.

I imagine we should only look at the parts of his record that Horowitz wants us to look at.

There are other parts of his record that are important to me

* he wasn’t member of the disastrous 2015 majority-R congress (Cruz gets a pass from me on this)

* he wasn’t an active part of the party that let Obama, Pelosi, and other Ds walk all over them for the last 7 years and who were an embarrassment on spending the 8 years before that

* he’s a good executive - managed many large projects, with large/diverse hierarchies of employees and large budgets

* he understands budgets, economy, international trade issues

* he seems to take advice from experts under him rather than assume that he (or an external group like the GOP) knows better.

* he isn’t trading his future decision making options for donations and party endorsements today and won’t be making decisions the first 4 years in order to get the same donations/endorsements for the next election

[Crucial]

Trump has two big things going for him.

1. He is proud to be an American. His past reveals that.

2. He isn’t afraid to say conservative or rightist opinions despite the enemedia and despite the political establishment.

Not a bad article. A bit untruthful about Trump, but I agree that he needs to flesh out some of his current positions more. One of Trumps strongest points is he has vision. You have to understand that much of what Trump promises are starting points for negotiation. I would like him to identify in more detail where he thinks he can lead America. What will it look like after a Trump term? Then it will be easier to reconcile whether his existing proposals makes sense in getting us to the promised land.

I would like to see this from all the candidates.

I remember the FR fury over this Trump statement:

"I watched Pam prior, and it looks like she's just taunting everybody," said Trump. "What is she doing? Drawing Muhammad and it looks like she's taunting people"..

Things trumpees already know that don’t seem to matter to them.

[inpajamas]

Trump is a con man — not real. He is not a conservative, but he does play one on TV — at least until after he is elected.

[Defiant]

To paraphrase Al Davis, "Just win, baby. And build the wall"

Then all things are possible.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Until some other Republican stakes out a position against taking Syrian refugees, amnesty, and bad trade deals, Trump will continue to lead.
