I know it was a cloture vote. This is an old political ploy. You allow the bill to be voted upon, which means it only needs 50 votes to pass, You can then decide if your vote is needed for passage. You then have an option to vote no for political optics knowing full well the bill will pass without your vote.

Cruz is a big supporter of more foreign workers. It is the GOPe position.

Ted "H-1B" Cruz has a major thing for flooding our homeland with foreign workers.

But McConnell voted "no," so there may be another layer of intrigue or parliamentary procedure that we're not aware of.

You misstate Cruz’s position vastly. He is for free trade. So was Milton Freidman. Your desire to paint Cruz as part of the GOPe is insane
