You need to update your spiel. Cruz is now against the TPP/TPA bill.
(hypocritical whining about flip flopping incoming in 5...4...3...)
My friend, imo, the correct reply to the unthinking Cruz trolls is:
As to fast track, Cruz was always for it, and though ultimately he did cast a no vote, he did so only because he knew it would pass.
The effect of his vote is that now if he -or Trump- is elected President, that person will now have a steam line mechanism to pass their trade bills through Congress.
He was never going to vote for TPP or any Democrat trade bill-— why would he, when he wants to negotiate it himself?
He voted for TPA authority for Obama. On trade, I prefer Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump.
