I believe you are confused.
Mark just took it and moved on. He loves Sessions.
The more I learn about Dominionist theology and how his Father basically has been calling him a “king†since he was 4, it explains a lot about Cruz.
+++++++
Dominionism teaches:
The Gospel of Salvation is achieved by setting up the “Kingdom of God” as a literal and physical kingdom to be “advanced” on Earth in the present age. Some dominionists liken the New Testament Kingdom to the Old Testament Israel in ways that justify taking up the sword, or other methods of punitive judgment, to war against enemies of their kingdom. Dominionists teach that men can be coerced or compelled to enter the kingdom. They assign to the Church duties and rights that belong Scripturally only to Jesus Christ. This includes the esoteric belief that believers can “incarnate” Christ and function as His body on Earth to establish His kingdom rule. An inordinate emphasis is placed on man’s efforts; the doctrine of the sovereignty of God is diminished.
Sessions has eclipsed Cruz as my absolute favorite Senator. He has in my head taken the slot that I had previously reserved for Senator Jim DeMint. That said Trump is the only one who I’m certain who gets the immigration issue and it is the most critical issue. Cruz I believe is at heart a “free trader” and not in a good way. Its really my only substantive worry with him. Economics is often compared to the ocean with the sentiment that a “rising tide lifts all ships” but that only works where you have a normalized basin. What we have been conducting is not free trade but allowing our economy to be leeched. Yes it improved China and the third world as we bled jobs and grew huge trade deficits but the returns came primarily at the top with the only benefit at the low end being lower priced consumer goods.
Cheaper widgets however does not make up for the difference in a service industry job versus a manufacturing job. China and Europe has grown their brain trust in electronics manufacturing and chip semiconductor fabrication while Americans are left with brain trust in flipping hamburgers and now these jokers want to further hurt us by opening up more IT jobs for replacement with foreign workers who pay nearly nothing for their education and have very little debt load compared to their America counterparts.
While a rising tide lifts all ships. If you have two vessels and one is fuller and at a much higher elevation (US economy) and one at a much lower elevation and less full even with a back channel upward you end up with a big imbalance. Economic growth like water flows in the path of least resistance water does not generally flow uphill and in order to raise the third world economies up enough to equalize the economic imbalance the first world would need to have an impossible growth rate or as we are seeing suffer multiple generations of economic imbalance as the first world is brought down to a more third world state.
I don’t know anyone outside of the profiteers at the top who have benefited from agreements like NAFTA. Perot was right when he predicted the big sucking sound. The US has lost more than half of its manufacturing jobs and even more alarming is the transformation of our STEM workforce.
” In 1994, there were 6.2 U.S.-born workers for every foreign-born worker in science and engineering occupations. By 2006, the ratio was 3.1 to 1. “ this is occurring even though there is a surplus of STEM graduates in the US. The problem is that foreign born STEM workers are more likely to accept lower wages because their education and debt load is far lower than US born graduates.

“He’s getting good advice. He’s gathering good advisors, and he’s listening to them.
Excellent sign.”
Precisely.
And isn't that a shame? I was split between Cruz and Trump. Then Cruz started showing up at rallies with Beck. That did it for me. GO TRUMP!!
Beck is some kind of weird sicko. He prolly fits in someplace but I don't know where that is. Perhaps a mental hospital?
He is just giving them the opportunity to clarify their response.
Sessions is well liked in the Senate and would provide the senior advisor type sounding board Trump will need to get his legislation through Congress.
He's a much better advocate that the combative Cruz.

The definitive timeline of what Ted Cruz said and did in the 2013 immigration debate.

What a silly statement.
Ted CRUZ gave us John Roberts!
Remember. It's Ted "The Face Of God" Cruz, Praise His Holy Name.
The Tediban will come after you if you don't get that right, ok?
That’s OK by me. So he’s getting Sessions to do his homework assignments for him - I can think of a lot worse things.

Hope this helps.
God Bless.
Sessions supported Roberts a much as Cruz.
If Trump’s going to criticize Cruz for supporting Roberts, he has to feel the same way about Sessions.
No way Trump would have opposed John Roberts if he even knew who he was beforehand which is doubtful.
This is such an excellent synopsis, Balding_Eagle. I’m saving it.
Thanks, but I can’t claim credit.
I found it somewhere on the web, and saved it to my Cruz file a while back.
Why I have Cruz file I don’t know, these are his final weeks and now I’m simply waiting for the field to clear.
Well, good for you, anyway! You done good.
smh I’ve got one too grrrr clutterin up my bookmarks. . .(my puter is messed up & I can’t make files. Either. MEBST!)
