Cruz vs Trump
The Tortoise and the Hare
“Trump never had my loyalty and never will.”
You’ve got lots of good company. The Dems, the GOPe, the MSM, the corporate types. I side with Main Street, thank you. I side with Trump.
Candy Kelly is more poetic. Of course, she’s so self centered she will think it’s a compliment on her Nigerian refugee look, her figure.

Yup.
It was the middle one.
You also sided with a guy that profits from dead babies and helped fund and legally protect their killers. Might wanna reel that chip on your shoulder in a bit before it ignites.
To me, it was worth the price of admission to see Trump put the adversarial and divisive Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace in their places. Loved it. That’s why I liked to watch Newt Gingrich four years ago, becasue he wasn’t impressed with these self-important commentators and called them out when they asked him stupid questions.
The first thought I had, when I heard Trump was running - not about his winning or losing, just, “At least the debates will be interesting with him in there.”
Touche’.

Cruz Tries to Claim the Middle Ground on Immigration
What Mr. Cruz has tried to articulate in both word and deed is a middle ground. It got no support from Democrats in Washington, but it goes further than many on the far right want to go by offering leniency to undocumented immigrants here already: A path to legal status, but not to citizenship. A green card with no right to naturalization.
Immigration-reform legislation from the Senate’s so-called Gang of Eight passed that chamber in June and includes a 13-year path to citizenship. Mr. Cruz pushed unsuccessfully for amendments that would have, among other things, eliminated the citizenship component.
Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay.
“The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight,” he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.
Mr. Cruz said recent polling indicated that people outside Washington support some reform, including legal status without citizenship. He said he was against naturalization because it rewarded lawbreakers and was unfair to legal immigrants. It also perpetuates illegal crossings, he added.
Besides barring citizenship while instituting some level of legalization for those here already, Mr. Cruz has proposed increasing the number of green cards awarded annually, to 1.35 million from 675,000. He also wants to eliminate the per-country limit that he said left applicants from countries like Mexico, China and India hamstrung when they tried to gain legal entry to this country.
Senator Ted Cruz's Contradictory Position on Illegal Immigration
It all depends on what the meaning of is is. Amnesty is legalizing the presence of the lawbreakers and allowing them to stay and work here. Citizenship is just the cherry on top.
He love you short time? ;)

Fox Business is pretty good, ESPECIALLY Varney and Charles Payne. Gasparino used to have the goods and really break news. He’s OK on analysis, but was must-see TV when it came to breaking news on Wall Street. Not sure what happened there.
Fox News became unwatchable a long time ago. Greta’s about the best there is over there anymore, and they’ve got her covering Lifetime Channel-style murder stories.
Very good.

I was looking forward to hearing Kasich tonight because I keep hearing how we need Ohio to win. He was such a disappointment with his cave in to gay marriage.
I cant take credit for it but I am happy to use it as needed ;)
I’ve been working personally on Huckabee on this for years too. :-)
It was a ridiculous question for a GOP debate! Support the party nominee? Did the GOP support the party nominee when it had Lisa Murkowski run as an independent in Alaska after losing her primary? Or when it supported Thad Cochran's third-party run in Mississippi after he lost his primary?
If the GOP were consistent in supporting all party nominees, then yes it would have been a legitimate question. But given the GOP's history of sabotaging candidates they don't like (read: Tea Party), the question was obviously unserious, hypocritical, and designed only to provoke.
Thats what the GOP kneepadders need to accept. Rules for thee and none for me isn’t a DNC exclusive. Their own linerals refined it to high art.
Blind loyalty to that is why America is in the mess it is.
