“he did it to make the bill absurd and the bill failed
No, as a matter of fact, the bill passed overwhelmingly in the Senate, Cruz’s side, and was about to be passed in the House. But enough Representatives got scared and backed away when Cantor was sacked in Virginia, over immigration. Boehner had already scheduled a vote. He waited a day too long.
That poison pill thing is a complete joke. If you check the sources at that time, the only time a poison pill was mentioned was by Cruz and he was complaining that Obama had inserted a poison pill.
which one did I get that mixed up with?
It was one immigration bill...
I am so sick of this election season, I just dont care so much anymore
