Not a good enough reason, IMO. Kind of a weak statement, actually.

[Mariner]

Doesn’t make sense to me.

    Ted Cruz Ping!

    If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
    Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

    CRUZ or LOSE!

[A CA Guy]

Didn’t want to be labeled extremist on international policy.
In his eyes anyway.

[Theoria]

Tom Cotton only no vote.

[dadfly]

what the heck. i voted against it before i voted for it? more games. starting to make me wonder.

[demshateGod]

Let’s just start a revolution this summer and see which side he’s on. If ISIS does attack, I hope we don’t “all come together to fight a common threat.” Instead, I hope we recognize who invite that threat and take it all the way. Anyway.

“I voted no on cloture because we should have insisted on amendments to put real teeth in this bill. Ultimately, I voted yes on final passage because it may delay, slightly, President Obama’s ability to lift the Iran sanctions and it ensures we will have a Congressional debate on the merits of the Iran deal. I will continue to lead the fight to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to protect the national security of America and our allies.”

Political gobbledygook.

It seems that Senator Tom Cotton is the ONLY one in Senate who has any backbone.

[conservative98]

Makes sense. He voted yes on the final passage because it it the only way left to slow this down.

[Norm Lenhart]

Bad move. The GOP is going to ram it through for Barry anyway. Slowing it down matters little to not at all. Shoulda stayed a solid no and campaigned on it.

[Timber Rattler]

No excuse, Ted. You screwed the pooch on this one. Should have stood with Cotton. He stood with you.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

To my mind this is good news.

If Ted was a pretend conservative like Tom Delay he would do only those things that made him look like a true blue conservative to unsophisticated voters.

Ted is choosing the least worst option left for him by the GOPe even though some less sophisticated conservatives might consider him a traitor for doing so.

Maybe Ted is the real deal.

Still I wish he hadn't gotten into bed with Norquist and signed his stupid pledge.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I guess I get it. I don’t know. Cruz probably has information we never see.

[kaehurowing]

Okey-dokey

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I’m in the Cruz Camp but this was a BAD vote.

[dforest]

One of these days, we will all realize that this mess of a country will not be fixed by an election.

Until citizens catch on to that, we are doomed.

[hosepipe]

Ted is pretty honest... politicians HATE THAT......

[Major Matt Mason]

I'm sure that Cruz's vote was a political decision. Not sure I'm crazy about that, but my real concern at this point is the GOP "leadership", who appear to be rubber-stamping the Obama agenda. This is most definitely not what I voted for.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Mark Levin called this bill a total capitulation to both Obama and Iran.

Republicans should have told Sen. McConnell to go to hell and voted against it because, according to Levin, there is no way that the GOP can get a 2/3 majority vote from Obama’s lockstepping Democratic Senators on anything challenging Obama.

Time for some Republican senators to resign from the GOP, leaving just enough to keep control of the Senate, but not enough to do anything without the new Independents. With the Marxist Democrats specifically targeting GOP Senators with the aim of taking back the Senate in 2016, this might be a wakeup call to all Republicans as to how incompetent McConnell and Bonehead are.

If we are going to win, let’s do it on McConnell’s watch.

Without a strong conservative leader to step up for the presidency, America will continue its slid into a stronger Marxist authoritarian regime led by the Dems.

[Hawthorn]

Cruz can do no wrong. /s
