AP Poll: Negative view of Trump now nears 70 percent

I would hope so...It would be a shame for the RNC and Cruz and his GOPe to spend scores of millions of dollars to relentlessly attack Trump, their own leading candidate, without having some success...

Damn the torpedos! Full speed ahead!

Yup, my mom has been a FR member since 1999. She won’t even come near it no more. She supports Ted Cruz. The final straw for her was a Trump supporter sent her a profanity laced private message and hurled very personal insults. It was so bad I almost think it was written by The Donald himself.

HaHa...Show us the post by your mom that prompted Donald(?) to respond to her in such a negative way...

Cruz is creepy, sneaky and despised. Three out of three.

No doubt the stop Trump movement is having an effect with tens of millions of dollars being used by various Rep PACs to flood the media market with the anti-Trump message. And the MSM and the Dems are joining in. No one can remain unscathed given the resources dedicated to stop Trump. What is remarkable is how unwavering his supporters are despite this barrage.

In 2012, Donald Trump described Mitt Romney's approach as "mean-spirited".

Ted Cruz said something similar.

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.

Thank you, sincerely, for providing that information. I will read through every word of it. It is so refreshing to find another poster willing to engage in critical thought instead of hurling insults.

I accept that immigration is the primary issue on many posters' plates. Mine happens to be limited government. And on that issue, Ted Cruz proves to be the best choice, hands down. As for immigration, I am having trouble reconciling a tough immigration stance with Trump's (and his son's) statement about expediting the return of illegals.

Again, thanks for posting.

As for immigration, I am having trouble reconciling a tough immigration stance with Trump's (and his son's) statement about expediting the return of illegals.

You should read Trump's Immigration position paper There is no mention of expedited return of illegal aliens. I take Trump's comment on return with a grain of salt. He said they must come back legally, which is hard to do if you follow existing law. The vast majority of illegal aliens have committed multiple crimes in addition to entering the country illegally--a misdemeanor.

I have worked on the immigration issue for nine years lobbying on the Hill for a grassroots immigration group. Trump is far stronger on immigration than Cruz who has changed his positions only recently after seeing the resonance Trump was having with the issue. There is a reason why Jeff Sessions endorsed Trump over Cruz.

Cruz wanted to increase H-1B visas by 500%. If you look at the video you will hear him using a bogus study to justify the huge increase, something wanted by the Chamber of Commerce. We have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. We don't need more foreign workers who are taking American jobs and depressing wages.

Cruz put out finally an immigration position paper months after Trump's. However, in terms of legal immigration, Cruz has said he would not "increase" legal immigration while Trump wants to return it to historic levels, i.e., 200,000 a year from the current 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year.

In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born; today it is less than one in 8, the highest in 105 years, and within a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest in our history. We are being colonized by the Third World. Immigrants vote more than two to one De,. They will make the Dems the permanent majority party.

No, but I have a GIF for this anti-Trump thread. Enjoy.

I didn’t think the sarcasm tag was necessary.
