A$$HOLE Rubio voted YES! Soft Handed PU$$Y POS!
I am glad to see Cruz switch to no. He was hurting himself in the Presidential primary. I was willing to give him some slack on this, but many were not.
How nice another Sellout of America. These so called Free trade agreements are Crap.
How about we disengage from the G7, The WTO, The UN, and NAFTA, we would be better off.
Toast’ed Cruz KNEW this would pass and
tried to hide his previous support of Obama,
ObamaTRADE, SECRECY and antiConstitutional corruption.
So he and his wife still get the bonus from Goldmann Sachs.
I haven’t yet read enough to comment on this news, but will anyway.
Some of us expected this. Frankly, the so-called “test vote” was taken initially when too many voted for the first “test”. But, I suppose tolerating an idea of a thing is different than, in the end, actually voting for the dang thing, although Cruz did first vote to tolerate the idea of a second vote.
The initial vote lent a heck of a big assist to this Obama empowerment effort, and now at last it seems enough throats have been slashed and arms twisted that this test vote moves all things along. Of course, I am grateful that Cruz in the damn clinch voted “right”.
I don’t know what to think, actually. It seemed so clear to me how, initially, in the very first vote, to vote. How do they do it, Vetsy, play around with these things, and sleep at night?
Rubio sold us out and Cruz switched to no because he knew it would pass. This way he can say “Look! I voted no!”
What a bunch of crap.
Just another performance of the DC Kabuki Theater
Republicans who voted against advancing the fast-track bill were:
Susan Collins, Maine
Ted Cruz, Texas
Rand Paul, Kentucky
Jeff Sessions, Alabama
Richard Shelby, Alabama
Those were the same senators who voted against the measure in late May, with the exception of Cruz, who announced his reversal Tuesday morning. (Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah was also a no vote in May, but he did not vote Tuesday.)
I find all this procedural stuff confusing, but if I understand correctly, Cruz was for it before he was against it?
I'm glad Cruz switched, I'd been pissed to see him vote for TPA and then against TPP & others.
Did Ted Cruz or his campaign give a reason why he decided not to vote for TPA ?
Would a good guess be that it didn’t has the language in the bill that he wanted to reign in the out of control power of Obama ?
What sort of launguge in the bill or amendment that Sen. Jess Sessions was trying to get Sen. Ted Cruz to work in that bill.
Perhaps Sen. Jeff Sessions had a last minute talk with Ted Cruz’s.
If that is the case it shows he is willing to listen to councling.
So which Ted Cruz are you supporting 2DV?
The Ted Cruz who voted for TPA or the Ted Cruz who voted against TPA?
