I know Heritage is now scoring cloture votes. I believe Conservative Review is too.
They’re not going to get away with that game anymore. And Cruz has been playing that up. I think he didn’t vote against Lynch on purpose, to show that cloture votes are the REAL votes, and to bring attention to them, as he did with the Obamacare/Shutown cloture vote.
That's part of why folks are trying to get rid of him next time around.
