RE: The biggest difference is that Cruz is owned by CoC and CFG as his TPA and corker bill votes proved

Ted Cruz explains why he voted for the Corker bill:

___________________________________

“This bill was a missed opportunity. If Congress had acted to defend our constitutional authority — if Congress had adopted the Cruz-Toomey amendment — then we would be able to stop a bad Iran deal. Instead, the odds are now overwhelming that under these ground rules President Obama will negotiate, and Congress will acquiesce to, a terrible deal that allows Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and will endanger the lives of millions of Americans and our allies.

“I voted no on cloture because we should have insisted on amendments to put real teeth in this bill. Ultimately, I voted yes on final passage because it may delay, slightly, President Obama’s ability to lift the Iran sanctions and it ensures we will have a Congressional debate on the merits of the Iran deal. I will continue to lead the fight to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to protect the national security of America and our allies.”

At least Cruz is honest about this bill and isn’t acting as though it were some big victory, like McConnell and Corker.

So nope, I disagree that he is owned by the CoC and the CFG.

YOU NEVER VOTE FOR A BILL THAT WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR WHAT YOU DON’T WANT TO PASS, PASS.

End of explanation.

Cruz can flutter around that truth all he wants. In the end he’s going to complain about him getting rolled, and I’m going to think he should have known.

Mitch McConnell? Mr. Smartest guy on the block didn’t see that one coming?

Ultimately, I voted yes on final passage because it may delay, slightly, President Obama's ability to lift the Iran sanctions and it ensures we will have a Congressional debate on the merits of the Iran deal.

At least Cruz is honest about this bill and isnâ€™t acting as though it were some big victory, like McConnell and Corker.

Let me see if I understand this, Cruz is honest in telling us he voted for TPA and the corker bill as a favor to us? Ya, that's the ticket. We'll have a debate after it's passed, wonder where I have heard that before?
