You have no idea what issues are really conservative / liberal fault lines. In fact, you have some of them bass ackwards because you are wrong on some of them.
On the cloture vote for trade: it’s hard to say this trade deal is bad or good...because Elizabeth Warren and most of the Democrats are VERY Much against it. That indicates it’s probably okay. On the other hand, Obama is for it, and that indicates it may not be.
I could say he voted to defeat Eliz Warren on trade, and that’s a good thing.
In other words, this is not a conservative / liberal issue fault line. Unless of course you’re a liberal union thug and hate all international trade. Are you?
Or it could be that 60 votes were solid anyway, and Cruz is negotiating on another issue. That type of swapping goes on all the time. It’s a fact of life, get used to it.
As for legal immigration, there’s no evidence Cruz is for more of it...and no evidence that more legal immigration is bad. The H1 B visa issue is used as a bargaining chip to stop illegal immigration, an issue where Cruz is among the best in all of the congress.
Rush just called the bill DISASTROUS. It is being done in secret, for crying out loud. So much for your perceptive abilities.
” for legal immigration, there’s no evidence Cruz is for more of it...and no evidence that more legal immigration is bad.”
He said he was for it, and if you think it is a good thing...
