Cruz ‘of course’ could see Rubio in his administration

According to the poll, which was conducted after Tuesday’s debate, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has been hit the hardest, falling from his high of 23% to just 9%.

The immigration dispute was long anticipated. That position has become a fog shrouding the details of what they want to do about illegal immigration “down the road”.

In the days following the terror attack in San Bernardino, California, that killed 14 people, and in the weeks following the vicious Islamic State attacks on Paris, Trump sparked outrage among Democrats, media and the rest of the GOP by saying Muslims should not be allowed into the United States.

“For the first time in five debates, Senator Rubio publicly admitted not only did he support Obama and Schumer’s amnesty but he still supports amnesty and citizenship today”, Cruz said Thursday – highlighting a Rubio stance that is anathema to the GOP’s conservative base.

Against many analysts’ predictions, Trump remains the leader despite being disliked by the Republican establishment.

Cruz added that “of course” he could see Rubio working in his administration, though he did not elaborate on what kind of role Rubio would play.

Last week in New Hampshire, Bush insisted he would not need to withdraw his support for the nominee because he did not believe Trump would win the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. That’s compared to Trump at 23.8 percent. The amendment I introduced would not change any of that, which would mean the 11 million who are here illegally would all come out of the shadows and be legalized under the Gang of Eight’s bill. Ted Cruz got 20 percent support, followed by Florida Sen. He had every chance to say he opposed a legal status for illegal immigrants and didn’t do so.

Indeed, many analysts say Rubio is a candidate to watch.

During the debate, Cruz said he voted against the defense spending bill because he wanted it to remove the federal government’s authority to detain USA citizens without due process.

But the biggest dispute between Cruz and Rubio is over the two-year-old immigration bill that would have given undocumented immigrants a path to gaining US citizenship.

Mr Trump walked back remarks he made at the weekend, where he called Mr Cruz a maniac, and Mr Cruz evaded questions about a private meeting where he raised doubts about Mr Trump’s judgment.

Ted Cruz has been fending off criticisms from presidential rival Sen. The billionaire businessman also did well among Republican women, with 30 percent support.
