Speaking to Bloomberg, Cruz made clear he would, as president, immediately end President Barack Obama’s 2012 program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals to grant deportation relief and two-year work permits to roughly 650,000 young people brought to the country illegally as children. “(Ted’s) conservative through and through. Moreover, unlike Bush, Cruz’s donations have been roughly split between high dollar donors and the grassroots. “It’s an overwhelming victory for the grassroots conservative movement”. Marco Rubio, for wanting to get rid of the Syrian leader. And thanking him for making explicit the terms of the “war on women”.
During a question-and-answer session with reporters near the store’s cash register, Cruz accused those who criticized the timing of his gun shop visit of trying to “politicize” the California shootings.
Despite the fact that it’s great to have a candidate who is as charismatic and non-politically correct as Trump, there are a number of indications that he would have trouble winning a general election. “It would be bold and premature to count Trump out at this point”, Skelley said.

In a recent interview in The Atlantic, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, one of Rubio’s rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, and a candidate gaining ground in New Hampshire, said “there’s not a lot of depth there”, referring to Rubio.
Mitt Romney scoffed at the very idea, responding, “I don’t believe employers should tell someone whether they could have contraceptive care or not”. “When you grow up in the home of an immigrant who’s seen prison and torture, who’s seen freedom stripped away, you grow up with an acute appreciation for how precious and fragile our liberty is”. “Anyone who wants contraceptives can access them, yet it’s an utterly made-up nonsense issue”, Cruz stated to the almost 300 people within the room. Here, the rightmost position-Rubio-esque neoconservatism-is identified with the dreaded Washington establishment, while organic conservative preferences are reflected in broad support for less militarily adventurous candidates.
