from the article:

Trump copied the immigration position that had been espoused for four years by Senator Ted Cruz,

Stopped right there because that’s a flat out lie.

NO ONE would be talking about illegal aliens invading our country if Trump hadn’t said something. NO ONE !!!

Not to mention that Cruz promised the American people that he wanted the Gang of 8 bill to pass and bring illegals “out of the shadows”. The only reason the bill actually failed is because Eric Cantor got primaried out of a job.

All these Trump whiners can stuff it. I’m tired of career politicians, and Trump is conservative enough for me where it matters.

BWAHAHAHAHA Stern talk don’t walk cowgirl. Go check Google for Cruz’s Senate Campaign.

At that time Trump was criticizing Mitt’s mean Immigration Plan while Cruz was addressing the Illegal Immigration during his Campaign.

Damned, you’ld think someone would have vetted those talking points HQ sent out, no?

You could do a little research and find out that that’s not a flat out lie. Cruz’s position was published in 2011 and has not changed. It is available for review to anyone who wants to take the time to learn the truth.

I do, however, realize that it is easier and more comforting to just let yourself be swept up onto the Trump Train, let the rocking of the rails carry you along, not give a thought to where you are heading.

After Mitt Romney lost to President Obama, the Trump criticized the GOP for being too harsh towards illegal immigrants:

“The Democrats didn't have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants, but what they did have going for them is they weren't mean-spirited about it,” Trump told Newsmax’s Ronald Kessler in a Nov. 26, 2012 interview.

Romney's solution of "self deportation" for illegal aliens made no sense and suggested that Republicans do not care about Hispanics in general, Trump says.

"He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal," Trump says. "It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote," Trump notes. "He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country."
