Yup, the trade bill thing worried the hell out of me too.
I thought “It seems a stupid thing to support..but I’m sure Cruz is smarter than me so maybe he’s right?”
And then he switched positions and I was relieved my instincts were correct but worried that he made a false start on the matter...
Anyways...he needs to form a strong alliance with Trump. They need to totally refrain from attacking each other in the debates and tag team the rinos off the frickin stage.
I would give him a pass on the Trade authority.
There is a ton of confusion about what was being voted on, and whether or not the vote was in favor of the TPP or not (it was not.)
Even here on FR there was a ton of confusion about what the vote was.
Most people are not even aware there is an election next year.
Cruz always wanted fast track for his Presidency. But, he was never going to vote for any trade deal from this administration.
As things turned out, he got fast track. Luckily for him, politically, his vote wasn’t necessary — so he voted against it.
