I’m not following your thinking here.It's not MY thinking. He made proposals to the bill that (he says) he was not in favor of just to kill the bill...IOW, he lied.
It doesn't matter that you agree with why he lied...he lied.
Under any other circumstance, making proposals to a legal document under false pretenses is not just a little white lie, it's fraud.
Now that everyone knows he's a liar (he admitted it) no one knows when he's not lying.
Senator Cruz official website:
In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the "Gang of 8" bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled "H1B" visas, prevent illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits, and enforce the rule of law.Apparently he made proposals to a bill he says he had no intention of voting for.
Was he lying then or is he lying now?
When Cruz joined the Senate he was given a rule book - it wasn't written by him. It was written long before and had been used by Senate club members to pass every piece of trash that has crippled our country. Every Senator knew the rules, used the rules, and apparently liked the parliamentary rules.
Cruz used their rule book to stop amnesty and beat club members at their own game. That includes using the poison pill gambit. This has made McConnell mad. And McCain mad. And Graham mad. And Shumer. All 99 club members are mad.
And you have seen sausage being made and you are mad.
You probably were opposed to Americans stealing the Jap code and shooting down Isoroku Yamamoto. “Totally unfair” you say.
But Trump games the U.S. bankruptcy laws and walks away from billions in debt - over, and over, and over, and over again - and you think that's fine. Even though he remains a yuge billionaire himself.
