In the back-and-forth over “New York values”, Team Cruz is now circulating a video of Trump espousing more liberal positions, 17 years ago.

It worth noting, however, that Ted Cruz espoused more liberal positions– in some cases– just 17 weeks ago…

Green Cards
In 2013, Cruz proposed doubling “the overall worldwide green card caps from 675,000 visas per year to 1.35 million per year (not including refugees and asylum-seekers).”

He flip-flopped in 2015.

Guest Workers
In 2013, Cruz proposed quadrupling the number of H-1Bs from 65,000 to 325,000.

He flip-flopped in 2015.

Amnesty
In 2013, Cruz proposed an amendment “to provide a legal status for those who are here illegally”. In 2014, he handed out teddy bears to illegal aliens.

He flip-flopped in 2015.

Birthright Citizenship
In 2011, Cruz defended birthright citizenship.

He flip-flopped in 2015.

TPP
In April, Cruz joined Paul Ryan in support of Obama’s TPP.

He flip-flopped in June.

Snowden
When libertarian wing was ascendant in 2013, Cruz thanked Edward Snowden for “a considerable public service”.

He flip-flopped in January.

Crop Insurance
Cruz initially voted w/ budget hawks to cut crop insurance.

He flip-flopped after blow back from Iowa farmers.

Once the holy rollers in Iowa caucus, it'll get a bit tougher for ole Teddy. If, if, the mid tier does well in South Carolina, Cruz will be facing a headwind.
 
Anybody else see Cruz's interview with Chris Wallace today? Cruz now claims he thought he was voting for something else and not on crop insurance.

He also decided he can just change the definition of carpet bombing rather then admit he didn't know what it meant when he was claiming he would carpet bomb ISIS.

I dislike Cruz intensely but some of those flip flops may have been due to a new awareness of the ways potential terrorists could enter the country.
