Go Cruz or go home and kiss your America goodbye!
I’m listening to Cruz over and over and over on this. His reversal on TPA... for it than against it... dropped my opinion of him quite a lot. Better to argue for something strongly and stick with it than to reverse with some lame excuse.
Now, I think we may be hearing the truth about why he reversed his position.
We may actually be seeing another profile in courage.
On my knees, Dear Lord I pray for the strength, honesty, conviction, character and safety of this young man...
The GOP leaders are on the Big Government gravy train, seat mates with their Democrat buddies. That is why they stole the MS primary from a real conservative, McDaniel, so their pathetic lackey,Thad Cochran, could keep his seat.
Ted Cruz Ping! God bless and protect Rush and Cruz!
Just happened to be tuning through C-Span when this was going on - couldn’t believe my ears =- enjoyed it immensely....
Cruz accuses McConnell of lying (Why Cruz voted for TPA)

Senator Ted Cruz nails it. Cronyism is sending this nation to a fascist state.
However, I am still upset over his 'yes' vote for the Free Trade Agreement.
What I'd like to know is why he waited so long before calling McConnell a liar. It's not like he hasn't had a ton of chances before now.
Because he is one.
Please watch this video. Ted Cruz described the situation around the votes for TPA and Corker's bills.
You’re welcome!
I understand that he was promised that the Import-Export Bank was going to be allowed to die, but he was very naïve to trust the GOP Leadership.
From Cruzs book......
On leadership corruption and sellout......
That Tuesday lunch began with our leadership saying, “We’re asking every Republican senator here, to affirmatively consent to lower the threshold for Harry Reid to take up the debt ceiling, from 60 votes to 50 votes. And we were told, everyone of you should agree for two reasons.
Number one, if we do this, it will happen, and hallelujah, hallelujah, that’s what we want. We want trillions more in debt with no spending reforms, because we’re scared of this issue. We don’t want to have a political fight on this.
But number two, if we do this, the Democrats will have the votes to do it on their own, which means all of us Republicans can vote no. And we can go home and tell our constituents, we opposed the thing we just consented to allow happen.
Now, I was sitting there — to be honest, I hadn’t gone to lunch intending to pick a fight, but as I listened to that, I was astonished and I raised my hand, and I said, “There’s no universe in which I can consent to doing that. I spent two years campaigning across Texas, telling Texas, if you elect me, I’ll fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.”
If were to do that, I think it would be both dishonest and unfaithful to the men and women who elected me.
As far as the trade agreement goes, Jeff Sessions was on ‘em from the get. He was not sookered in the least.
