There were two notable exceptions. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, would only say that Trump's policy wasn't his policy, and Sen Rand Paul's, R-Ky., spokesman ignored Trump, choosing to cite his own credentials. ("Sen. Rand Paul has led on the issue of border security, proposing real solutions.") Maybe these two freshmen senators simply did not understand the moral implications of Trump's proposal or lacked the courage to call him out, for fear of incurring a bully's wrath. More likely, they — especially Cruz — are fishing for Trump voters, willing to tiptoe up to the anti-immigrant line just far enough, they hope, to entice some angry voters. Their lack of stature was evident. Cruz, who has been under fire for a phony "no amnesty" plan that is no different than other candidates' (e.g., he's unwilling to round up millions of people and deport them by force), was not about to put any more distance between himself and Trump.
