"We were on the verge of losing this fight and 12 million people here illegally being granted amnesty," Cruz said. "And yet, when that fight was being fought, Donald was nowhere to be found."

Cruz also highlighted TARP, the 2008 bank bailout, as well as the stimulus package passed by Congress in 2009.

"On both of those, I opposed it," Cruz stated. "On both of those, Mr. Trump supported them."

He then squared up an attack on eminent domain, suggesting Trump "supports using government power to seize private people's homes to give them to giant corporations to, say, hypothetically build a casino."

Good luck “Surging Ted” because NOTHING else is working you are falling behind in all polls.

The last couple of weeks have been “weak”
(Donald says this, Ted says that).
A policy debate is what is in order, and appropriate.
Both men can show there current positions.
Both men can then point out the inconsistencies over their opponents past positions on said current positions.
This is normal, and helpful.

(Birthter, Canandian, Nasty, Dictator, New York values, Blah, Blah, Blah)

Time to articulate how and why (and, even when) they are different from one another, on policy alone.

Cruz—Saint
Trump—Satan

I’m not sure where all the vitriol against Cruz is coming from. He remains the strongest “conservative” voice and has stayed above the fray, avoiding personal attacks. Most of his challenges to Trump have been clearly on policy vs. personality.

Trump may be attractive to crossover voters and the whole “reality show” culture, but I’m beginning to fear what he would do in the role. He lacks a Constitutional foundation. I’m still in the Trump/Cruz mode, if Trump remains. He needs someone like Ted to provide a stable rudder to his actions.

Cruz can’t beat Hillary in the general. The whole point of this exercise is to accomplish that. Trump can do it, Cruz cannot.
