No doubt McConnell scheduled the vote for when he knew Cruz would be away.

Thought of that too. The elites want to get rid of Cruz,, so they are going to do anything and everything to make him look bad.

It’s a shame that a Republican candidate not only has to fend off the Democrats, but also his own party.

Cruz was not away. He blasted the GOPe from the floor 3 hours before the vote.

When cloture passed, there was no reason to show up and vote on the final vote. It was a done deal.
