Didn't Cruz call out Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as a liar on the Senate floor, on the record?

He most certainly did. After admitting that he was suckered into voting for it. Not sure that I would use that as an example of his leadership abilities. Kind of like, he was for it before he was against it.

I am 100% sure Trump would want Fast-Track authority on his trade deal. ...wouldn't you agree?

Ted Cruz changed position on Trade Promotion Authority, also called fast-track

Cruz wrote: "Despite the administration’s public assurances that it was not negotiating on immigration, several chapters of the TiSA draft posted online explicitly contained potential changes in federal immigration law. TPA would cover TiSA, and therefore these changes would presumably be subject to fast-track."

"After witnessing several senators huddle on the floor the day of the TPA vote (on June 23), I suspected that to get their votes on TPA, Republican leadership had promised supporters of the Export-Import Bank a vote to reauthorize the bank before it winds down," he said."I cannot vote for TPA unless McConnell and Boehner both commit publicly to allow Ex-Im to expire -- and stay expired."

I stand with Ted Cruz, he got it right after the back-room deals and lies were make public.
