Thats what I was looking for.

Cruz picked up 19 GOP Senators for that key vote
And he lost 38 GOP Senators.That is exactly 2 to 1.

I think he originally had 13 pledge signatures to defund, but I see it grew to 16 pledges to oppose cloture, then he got 3 more to give him 19.

Dont Fund it site/

Expect the House GOP to come up with their own second approach now, will see if Bohner can get the votes to pass one.

OK, you lost me there: the GOP has 46 Senators not 57.

Hmm Jeff Flake (who said he’d have voted no) was absent, had more important things to do, his son’s wedding. Okay that’s a big deal and his vote wouldn’t have made a difference.

But he once missed a key (and close) vote in the house years ago when his daughter was competing in a beauty pageant.
