>>Truth is that once Cruz successfully pushed the TPA closure vote through the congress, TPA was a done deal. To come back and say he voted against TPA after that is just sleazy political BS<<

That would be “cloture vote” not closure. The process moves from upper chamber to lower, then back to the upper chamber.

When a senator supports an original bill, it then is amended, the house and senate leadership begins deceiving it’s members, it is up to the individual members to come against the deception...that is exactly what Ted Cruz did. He deserves kudos for bringing the lies to light.

Ted Cruz is HATED among the senate leadership for doing just that. He came out and called them liars.

Only a couple of senators stood with Ted Cruz when he exposed the deception. Where were you when the senate leadership attacked Cruz for calling them LIARS. Political BS is omitting these facts.

Cruz is hated for exposing what he calls the Washington Cartel. Absolutely unbelievable that folks are attempting to label Cruz as part of the establishment. He is anything but.

That is why you don't vote for a bill with blank pages and say we have to pass it to find out what is in it. It is also why you don't vote for closure in an evenly divided house. Then it only takes a trader or two (like mccain) to pass it. For you to suggest that Cruz deserves praise for getting that done, that is laughable.
