More like I’m simply applying the same standards to your favored candidate as you’re applying to mine. That was what this entire flame war was about. Me applying the same standards to Cruz that you’re applying to Trump. And you HATED it.

I know that Trump is no immaculate saint. It would give you much more respect if you were to admit that Cruz isn’t either.

The fact of the matter is that Cruz has been weak in words and deeds on immigration in the past, and treating him as some kind of conservative messiah only hurts him all the more when the news comes out about his past support of globalist garbage, his past votes, and his current language.

He is still better than Hillary or Bernie. Still better than Bush or Rubio. But the more you treat him as perfect instead of acknowledging his flaws and argue that he’s still the best candidate in spite of them, the less people will listen to you, and the weaker he’ll get.

Which has sort of been proven with his collapsing support lately...

I never said Cruz was perfect. I've criticized Cruz on a couple of votes. Why set up this strawman? I'll give more respect to you if you don't do that.

Cruz's 2013 words in that video are weak. Cruz and Sessions claim that he was simply setting up his poison pill amendments. One can believe what that want about that.

In 2015, during the campaign, Trump's words, numerous times, have been awful on amnesty. Are you even aware of that?
