Ted Cruz opposes all attempts by liberal Republicans and Democrats to give away American Sovereignty via treaties.
I like Cruz a lot. But he did indeed vote to give Obama fast track TPP authority. Then he called the leadership liars over it. But his vote let’s Obama skip senate 2/3.
At the best time to kill it, he voted to let it proceed. That’s a documented fact.
I believe that is true, but he should say so, or explain why he supported it. If it is strategy, he should explain it. People are not stupid, they will get it. So far, nothing.
Or i am wrong. I know how he voted, and i have heard speculation about putting it to a vote afterward, but voting for fast track is giving away leverage. Imho a tactical mistake from a guy who definately knows better. .. Why? I am interested to hear.
