He was elected to be a Senator.
What was more important than that? The fact he is revisiting this means he knows he screwed up. Time to step up.
“Time to step up.”
I’ve already stepped up...I’ll be voting for Cruz. Fact is, I’ll be voting for Cruz regardless of how many times his detractors want to make an issue of this nonsense.
~~Cruz OR LOSE~~
Nah, Cruz is right. That he wasn’t there to vote “no” had zero impact on the outcome.
On the Senate floor, Cruz called out GOP colleagues for procedural duplicity. If they really didn’t like Lynch, he argued, they should stick together and block a confirmation vote.
“The Republican majority, if it so chose, could defeat this nomination. But the Republican majority has chosen to go forward and allow Loretta Lynch to be confirmed,” he said. “There are more than a few voters back home that are asking what exactly is the difference between a Democratic and Republican majority when the exact same individual gets confirmed as attorney general, promising the exact same lawlessness.”
You’re showing your ignorance of Senate procedure. The cloture vote was the one that mattered. Cruz was present.
Which candidate are you supporting? Hopefully not Jeb.
The only vote that mattered was the clothure vote. The rest was just noice. There is nothing for him to step up about.
Wow - why not start your own circle and start firing? Amazing how so many seem to think they are "principled Conservatives" that have no actual concept of either word and serve as useful tools for the Left.
I take it you like Walker and are willing to make up stuff based on some inner voices that just won't stop talking to you. If we hated the Left as much as you seem to detest one of the most Conservative choices we've ever had, we might make some progress - despite you.
If I stepped over any lines, it was intentional....
