And Cruz’s performance last night in Houston was, quite simply, AWESOME, continuing to expose Trump as a life-long supporter of Democrats without an ideological compass.
Ted Cruz schooled Donald Trump (and Rubio in the process) on immigration, then hammers him on 'being liked in Washington'...
TRS: Ted Cruz had an amazing exchange with Trump where he went after Trump for funding the Gang of 8 members who advocate open borders. Trump accused Cruz of having none of his Senate colleague’s endorsement, but Cruz turned it around on him and told him being liked in Washington is not a good attribute for president.
...and SURPRISE! Donald Trump is a rank hypocrite on immigration...
Cruz went on to obliterate Trump on Supreme Court nominees...and in the process further exposed Trump's willingness to cut deals with Washington Democrats!
TRS: Ted Cruz went after Trump on picking a conservative Supreme Court nominee when he in fact he has been liberal for so long and given so much money to hardcore liberals. Trump responded by blaming Cruz for John Roberts being on the Supreme Court and then demanded an apologize for Cruz criticizing his sister.
Cruz said he will never apologize for defending the Constitution or the bill of rights and pointed out that Harry Reid himself suggested he’d rather have Trump because he knows he can make a deal with Trump on a Supreme Court nominee.
Btw, Trump straight-up LIED about Alito agreeing with his ultra lib-judge sister...
Cruz didn't let up. During a few rounds of 'Will Donald release his tax returns?' Cruz again exposed Trump's weakness against the darling of the Democratic delegate count, Hillary Clinton!Trump said Alito "signed bill" w/ his sis upholding partial-birth abortion in NJ.

"We've got to win this election, and we can't do it with a candidate who agrees with Hillary Clinton and can't take it to her and beat her on the debate stage and at the polls!"
"He can't prosecute the case against Hillary, and we can't risk another four years of these failed Obama policies by nominating someone who loses to Hillary Clinton in November."
Even afterwards, the Cruz campaign came out with a short video exposing Trump’s LIE in the debate where he claimed he never said the government should pay for everyone’s health care...
Folks, we can't afford more dealmakers...we have to have a genuine FIGHTER!Donald Trump and universal health care... #GOPDebatehttps://t.co/FBuaIfPsMN— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 26, 2016
