I saw the interview also. Cruz babbled non answers to Baier’s questions.
All very depressing trying to select a favored candidate out of this bunch.
I'm sure Cruz is a Parliamentarian. He introduced a poison pill into the bill in the form of an amendment in order to kill the bill. He was working with Jeff Sessions who is no amnesty guy. No one wants to see how sausage is made, so Cruz wasn't all that candid back at the time about what he was doing. Now it's come back to bite him. I'm not going to fault him for getting the job done or not fessing up at the time that he threw a wrench in the works. Remember he was under a lot of heat for "shutting down the government" etc.
