The leftist slant of the article implies that TP's hate immigrants and want liberal spending only if it benefits them.
I reject that.
TP's I know rebelled against the hard left shift of the government. After all the moonbat messiah pledged all the same "compromise and moderation" bullshit that the RINO's do. He was anything but from his first day in office. TP's aren't against providing truly poor people with a decent standard of living, they're against turning the safety net into a hammock. They don't want people illegally entering the country, commiting crimes and sleeping in the hammock. TP's don't care if immigrants come in legally and work, as long as it doesn't depress wages.
Obozocare is a disaster, and if Trump were to get elected (I suspect he isn't really trying to, but rather wants the attention or something else) I think people trust him to manage spending better than any of the professional political whores do, and actually do something about illegal immigration.
I'm still all in for Cruz, and I suspect that Trump may be acting as a battering ram for him.
