We need to keep in mind the difference between cloture and passage votes, but I’m curious about Ted’s reasoning on this one - and if he thinks it acceptable to create such a bill in secret.
The explanation Cruz put out yesterday for his vote is just not acceptable. In most of these bills lately voting for cloture is the same as voting for the bill. He has indicated he is actually going to vote for the bill. I was not thrilled that he voted for the Iran nuclear bill. Couple that with the trade bill and he’s kind of screwed the pooch with me and Mr. GG2.
Personally I think Ted is probably trying to snag some big donor and he needs to placate their interests.
