He had a commitment to get to in Texas and had to catch his flight. That is what is being reported.
I expected that. His spokesperson commented to the press that he had already voted NO in committee and voted NO on Cloture, and that once Cloture was passed, it was a done deal. Therefore, no need to waste time when campaign obligations are needing his presence.
But out comes the Walkerites and longtime trolls to stir up dust over a non-issue.
Look, I like Cruz, but this is incredibly disappointing. If he has a commitment in Texas, that's more important than his commitment to be Senator, then he should give up his job being a senator.
This is kind of thing that loses elections. If he's not careful, he will turn into the Fred Dalton Thompson of 2016.
We have a bunch of candidates who can't be bothered to protect the Constitution. Cruz said he was that candidate. Today he was too busy to defend the Constitution. That is disappointing. Two more strikes and he is out.
But in the meantime, I count this as a vote FOR Loretta Lynch.
