I hope he has a good explanation for voting to give Owebowmao Fast Track Trade Authority.

Sessions is right about this bill, I was stunned to hear Cruz voted yes.

Cruz voted YES on giving Obama the power to flood this nation with illegal.

Well I kind of put my pom poms down yesterday when my prince voted for cloture on the trade bill. WTF? I am not getting over it today. Did Ted think we would not notice?

18 months out, and the left is already quaking in their boots over the prospect of a President Cruz.

That’s about the best endorsement I can think of.

Ted is the perfect guy for the left to yell, "please don't throw me in that brier patch" about, all the while desperate to end up in the brier patch so they can make a Republican out to be the reincarnation of Herbert Hoover and totally responsible for the collapsed economy.

Best of all, his ego makes him easy to bait, something you can see he's being set up for already, and something that makes for the very best sort of patsy. That's why the left is "afraid" of this particular Republican one term Senator.

He and Jeb have the only professional, well-oiled machines but he's not an establishment guy.

What a joke.

Nearly as good as the joke that Ivy League Princeton/Harvard Ted isn't part of the Establishment.

JMHo, YMMV

Indeed. Yes, my 'mileage' does vary from yours.

"He is extremely conservative compared to most of the country,"

Oh, I get it! He is having a dream!

“He claims Cruz is too conservative, like that’s a bad thing.”

People no longer know what real conservatism is, and Cruz is the man to teach them. Once they understand it, they will vote for it.

Especially after 8 years of extreme lefty policies furthering us on the road to fascism. Even those who don’t understand the Coward-Piven plan will see the stark contrast between the democrat’s plan and Cruz’s plan to set America back on the right course.

We need to keep in mind the difference between cloture and passage votes, but I’m curious about Ted’s reasoning on this one - and if he thinks it acceptable to create such a bill in secret.

The explanation Cruz put out yesterday for his vote is just not acceptable. In most of these bills lately voting for cloture is the same as voting for the bill. He has indicated he is actually going to vote for the bill. I was not thrilled that he voted for the Iran nuclear bill. Couple that with the trade bill and he’s kind of screwed the pooch with me and Mr. GG2.

Personally I think Ted is probably trying to snag some big donor and he needs to placate their interests.
