    Is the tipping point fast approaching? Incredible, our political class cannot get this right. Trump is right, “this is an invasion.”

    Rule #1 Exploit your enemies weaknesses.
    Rule#2 Attack on a wide front.
    Rule #3 Attach with overwhelming numbers.

    It really is a shame that our elected officials won't listen to the people that know what's going on at the southern border from hands on experience(s).

    While it's a given that the democrats are to blame and actually support such a breakdown of borders, it's vitally important that we remember the republicans who are to blame as well and have been for decades. The Bushes, Romney, Kasich, Rubio, McCain and Cruz all come to mind, among many others.

    ^^^More to blame, in a very real & significant way....

    They're all quisling scum, but at least the wacko lefties are "honest" in their insanity (not to imply anything they say/do can be trusted, but you can't blame vermin for being vermin - they are what they are...). The R scum are far worse and their deception goes deeper for trying to hide and project the opposite of what they're truly about.....

    And just to help lighten things up a bit, I'll leave this here:

    Totally agree.....so fucking sick of folks with an (R) behind their name claiming to be one thing and their actions show something different. Although there are occasions when their professing comes through loud and clear like McCain, Jeb and Cruz as examples.

    Diametrically opposed to the n'th degree, but I have more respect for the socialist who professes proudly to be a socialist than the socialist who professes to be an evangelical Christian hardcore conservative and misleads millions in the process.

    I can agree with all of those names, but when did Cruz vote against any border funding or security?

    Maybe I'm corrupted by the calls, texts, and emails from Cruz's organization asking to support the wall, funding and security almost every day.

    Who knows maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't see how he fits in with all of those softies.

    When Cruz stood before the country at the RNC and not only refused to endorse the nominee of his party, but told America to "vote your conscience," all but, as the runner-up in the GOP primary, endorsing Hillary. Clinton of course accepted his endorsement at a campaign rally shortly thereafter to loud applause and laughter, including her own like fingernails on a chalkboard.

    Thing about Trump.....love him or hate him.....is he's brought folks out from under their cloaks and shown who they really are by their own actions/reactions. And I'll admit, I was surprised by Cruz, but not shocked.

    You didn't answer the question, and Cruz is f#$@ing supporting Trump especially on the wall and border security. Don't forget who grilled Feinswine when she wanted an assault weapons ban, it was Cruz that scolded that woman. I support Trump, but I question how stout he is on the 2nd.

    Okay, so you're butthurt over that. Somehow Cruz got over Trump's assault on him but you can't get over those comments. Apparently this isn't about the border, but rather a grudge that neither of them, themselves hold....

    Just to follow, obviously I'm a Cruz supporter, and I did unapologetic in the primary. I voted Trump all the way in the regular election and I thought he was shitty through the primaries, but you know what, he is definitely the right man for the times and I have no "regerts" about voting for Trump.

    Really? When he said "vote your conscience", I did, and voted for Trump. I never took it as an endorsement of Hillary.

    When the runner-up in the primary is given the opportunity to speak at a convention for either party, they always....without fail.....mend fences, bring the party together and endorse the nominee of their party, period. That's the main thing you're there to do. Cruz did not and it was unequivocal.

    I will agree his actions since have been fine and he's supported the president unlike McCain, Romney and others. Of course he had to to save his career. But that was a major deal breaker for me and I was a big fan before that night.

    And who knows....the lack of an endorsement from Cruz may have actually helped Trump in the general.

    "In the last 30 days, the U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector is averaging 570 apprehensions a day, with 90 percent of those being in the El Paso Metropolitan Area."

    "These numbers continue to stretch the resources available to the U.S. Border Patrol to deal with this influx and the challenges that come with it," said officials.

    Cruz was probably butt hurt that Trump had called him a liar, suggested that his wife was ugly, and that his father was involved in the assassination of JFK. I can hardly blame him.

    So basically you’re upset that Cruz didn’t roll over and back the party at all costs.

    I have no issue with him saying what he said. I don’t formulate my voting choices based upon what others tell me to do, but rather by what I believe that candidate represents.

    Honestly, I think higher of him because he spoke his mind. Then went about doing business in the Senate that remained relatively consistent with the platform that got him elected. Spoke his mind, then put his butthurt on the side when it was time to get down to work. I see nothing wrong with that.

    I remember the first time I voted for Cruz. The whole time he was running I kept getting excited at the prospect of him voting with the RINOs and staying in lock step with the party.

    I was so betrayed.

    Y'all are both wrong. He was exactly in lockstep with "the party." Just ask the party elders, the Bush clan, Romney, McCain and the rest. He showed who he was and I'm glad he did. Thing is Trump has a habit of making people do that.

    And not roll over and support the party at all costs, but the candidate against Hillary. You realize that was the other choice, right? Thing y'all don't understand is "the party"....which includes Cruz.....didn't want Trump to win in '16.
