Team Cruz on Trump’s immigration shift: Told you so
I have been missing the war of words between Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz that we saw during Republican primary season. Katie Glueck on Politico reports that Ted’s supporters are still around.

Cruz spent the final months of his unsuccessful presidential primary run arguing that Trump was a not-so-closeted liberal whose conservative language on immigration was not to be trusted.
