Actually, that is a lie. Rubio missed the vote; Cruz voted against it.
"The Florida Republican, who is running for president, was the only 2016 contender to miss the vote, which is the Senate's final vote of the year.
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), three other presidential candidates, all voted against the the legislation."

________________
First of all, to accuse me of lying is a little “over the top;” don’t you think? I’ve been on this forum for quite some time and lurked for several years before that ...”Quidam” era; if that means anything to you. I can’t recall that I’ve ever accused another forum member of lying.
To your point; I fully admit that I erred in how I stated my point; which should have been that both Cruz and Rubio, as part of the current legislative branch, participated in the PROCESS that led to the approval of the budget. As you point out, Ted voted against the budget and Marco “stayed home.” Either way, they both failed to keep the funding for PP from being approved. I fail to see where their positions are any better than Trump’s stand which is that he would only approve funding for PP if they consented to removing abortions from the services they are rendering. Moreover, my whole purpose in writing my opinion was that in the article Trump’s position is grossly misstated.
Further, my problem w/Ted is that he is a lawyer who does a lot of grandstanding (nothing wrong w/that); however, he is not a good leader/consensus builder; therefore, he accomplishes very little. Being 100% Conservative is great; however, it doesn’t help the rest of us if you cannot deliver any Conservative results to support your Conservative principles.
