Jeb Bush blasts Ted Cruz over immigration, Syria
“Sometimes you don’t want a compromiser; you want someone who will stand up for conservative principles”.

But recently, a coalition of liberal Latino groups was doing its best to argue that these two GOP superstars are pretty much the same-and that neither would be good for America.
Unless you have a vested interest in one of the polls being more reliable than the other – for instance, if you happen to be Donald Trump – it’s hard to see a substantial difference between the two. Trump tossed red meat to the angriest among them, raising the specter of Mexicans crossing the border to steal jobs and rape women, of Chinese cheating us on trade, of Muslims all wishing we were dead and many willing to kill us if allowed in. All three Democratic candidates – along with GOP Senator Lindsey Graham, who suspended his campaign Monday morning – have “F” grades. “It’s just ridiculous some of the things they are asking them about”.
One of the places Cruz is trying that strategy out in is Tennessee, where he’ll stop on Tuesday, part of a multi-day tour of states voting on March 1st.
Cruz aired a new Dr. Seuss-style parody Saturday night during “Saturday Night Live” that included him reading such classics as “Rudolph The Unemployed Reindeer” and “The Grinch Who Lost Her Emails” to his two daughters next to their Christmas tree. “And indeed, they would be eligible for permanent legal residency”.
Florida Senator and presidential candidate Marco Rubio supported the so-called Gang of Eight bill that provided a path to citizenship for the 11 million.
Add Jeb Bush to the list of Ted Cruz critics on immigration. The Cruz campaign staff immediately reinforced his opposition to legalization by saying, “His plan is attrition through enforcement”.
Here is a link to video of Cruz offering an amendment to the Gang of Eight bill that would have provided what he now sneeringly derides as “amnesty”: https://youtu.be/4CwVrfydjOI.
Cruz has changed his position since then – which happens. After a brief exchange of uncomplimentary remarks, Trump displayed a bit of pantomime evilness by reminding Bush that he had received 43 per cent of the votes to Bush’s three. But why lie about it?
Mr Cruz also uses similar bombastic language to Mr Trump: where the Republican frontrunner says he would “bomb the s*** out of” the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), the Texas senator says he will “carpet-bomb them into oblivion”. The reason that the Reagan amnesty didn’t work was because the 1986 law provided no way for enough skilled workers – without whom our economy can not grow and prosper – to migrate legally as temporary workers or permanent residents. His staff, scrambling to clean up after his debate mess, suggests he now sort of supports Donald Trump’s unrealistic proposal to deport all of them.

In a statement released by the Cruz campaign last week announcing his decision, Dr. Dobson praised the GOP hopeful for his stance on religious liberty and traditional marriage. I was hoping that Sanders or O’Malley would call it for what it really was; an attempt by the DNC to undermine the Democratic nomination process. Also different is a single candidate either leading or continuing to show strong numbers. His views – he would abolish federal institutions like the department of education, is an ardent supporter of the death penalty, and takes a literal reading of the constitution – have excited the party base, but are alienating for the majority of the Republican mainstream. “That’s why Marco is meeting voters in Iowa today”.
