You are holding Cruz as having nothing to do with the failure of the bill. You hold him accountable because it passed the Senate? He's one (1) Senator. Sessions said he fought it the whole way. Here is what Sessions said:

"Ted Cruz was on MY SIDE and fought this legislation all the way through".

"They had a scheme -- a plan to vote down every amendment no matter what the amendment was. They did it because they said they had acheived a delegate balance between enforcement, and they had the perfect bill... Every amendment was voted down by every Democrat and a number of Republicans. it was a tense."... "It was that close to being passed... and I think I can say this with integrity. Without the vigorous opposition of Ted Cruz, this bill likely would have passed."

He's pretty clear about it. You know full well that the American people's opposition to this bill killed it. Once an opposition has been raised it's easier to kill a bill. It takes time to raise an opposition. Ted Cruz helped buy time and give support to the public opposition. So cut your bitching that he wasn't king.
