As I have instructed, at length, Cruz did not enable the current version of TPA. I understand that Senate dealings are hard for some to understand, but why must so many, including you, continue to spout this drivel? Who TOLD you that Cruz enabled TPA as it now exists? Who told you that TPP will definitely pass?

Why are so many willing to listen to pseudo-intellectual drivel like the OP or the constant TPA & Corker idiocy being spewed by Cruz opponents? Reliable conservatives have explained Cruz’s votes on these topics and STILL there are those who act as if Cruz is a RINO traitor.

Because they want liberalism.

And yet these poor knuckle dragging, tea baggin, inbread, Tumpettes just can't grasp your brilliant B$. Corker made all of it possible and the current alibi B$ won't make it go away, so give it up, most freepers can read.

“As I have instructed, at length, Cruz did not enable the current version of TPA.”

He voted for cloture which brought the bill up for vote, and then he voted for the bill. He praised the bill, but claimed to Mark Levin that he made a deal with “leadership” to vote for it if they would subsequently remove the language in the bill that turned immigration law over to a foreign cartel. “Leadership” lied, he said, so he voted against it the second time. The bill was still toxic without the immigration aspect.

“I understand that Senate dealings are hard for some to understand, but why must so many, including you, continue to spout this drivel?”

I am not spouting drivel, I am quoting Cruz.”

” Who TOLD you that Cruz enabled TPA as it now exists?”

Cruz, by voting it to go before Congress and voting for it.

“Who told you that TPP will definitely pass?”

No one “told” me, but the Republicans are for the bill. The Republicans and Obama are working together. It only takes 51 votes, and debate is very limited (TPA rule. TPA was passed to “fast track” i. e. ram, the bill through.)

Corker bill? There is no conceivable, rational explanation that can get Cruz off the hook on that vote. Rush Limbaugh (along with Mark Levin and Cruz, strangely enough) who called the bill a disaster, said on his show that Republican donors wanted that bill so they could make money off rebuilding Iran’s infrastructure. No sooner than Cruz voted for the bill, he started condemning the bill. He took a page out of Obama’s book — campaign against and disown your own policies for the low information voters.
