What? He says no such thing. TPA hasn’t changed. There is no “new TPA”. His cash flow changed, so he threw his defenders under the bus.
Looks like the n00b is trying their darndest to have his/her own set of facts! GI and xzins are right...follow the $$...and poll numbers...and you’ll have the reason for Ted’s epiphany, TNmouth.
BTW....I canvassed door to door during Ted’s run for the Senate, and have supported my Sen Cruz all the way...with shoe leather and $$ (long time FReepers know this)....up until his whole-hearted support of this trade debacle. (I’m not at all happy with his H1 visa support, but his trade bill love was too much.)
(Since I know you’ll ask....) Who do I support now? Not sure...I’m feeling somewhat betrayed. I didn’t leave my candidate...my candidate left me :(
LOL...then your support was weak.
Now, I guess you will get to vote for Jeb or Hillary. Please, get a grip. This wasn’t a bad trade deal to start with and you know it. Funny, you have all of the talking points the trolls use...why is that?
You are buying the national polls? What about the polls of those who actually vote...the grassroots? what about all of the people who still show up for Cruz events? Why is he expanding the map? Why is he still asked to keynote most events? Because he isn’t LOSING in the polls.
He has explained why he changed his mind on TPA. And, if you paid attention to FR, you;d know that BOEHNER allowed Liberals to add amendments to it but not Conservatives. That is a pretty good reason to change a vote...
But, you are a quitter. Cruz isn’t 100% so you whine and say “now, I can’t support him” but I have nowhere else to go. You weren’t betrayed...get over yourself.
He lost my support because of his support of H1-B visas, the trade agreement crafted in secret, and the fact that he said he would consider means testing Social Security. He wasn’t even asked about Social Security. He just volunteered it. When he includes Federal pensions for means testing, then maybe I will listen.
If he was a true conservative on the economy, he would be figuring out ways to make America prosperous once again and bring the jobs home. Not trying to figure out how to redistribute the wealth.
I feel like Cruz made a fool out of his base. I was with him when he filibustered, but I now think that was for show. I will not vote for Bush, Christie, or Cruz.
