I think he's going to get ripped to shreds by the media, we'll have to see. I heard someone claim that Megyn Kelly was already calling Cruz out as lying about his past support for legalization-- which is true, but also means the media might not be too interested in propping Cruz up as a not-Trump if they're willing to air the obvious. Team Rubio is also probably furious over the denials last night.
Looks like you found Cruz’s achilles heel — in immigration of all things!
Legislation gets so confusing these days.
The media doing their job for a change? Immigration is The Issue this election so vetted Cruz on this is the right thing to do.
