As I see it, voting no would label him “extremist”...voting NO when it was going to pass anyways wouldn’t have changed anything but Cruz chances to win in 2016 which we desperately need him to do. Its the Republican leadership that has caved TOTALLY.
Why should he fear the “extremist” label? Who has that label damaged? Did it hurt Reagan?
The “Republican leadership” has been liberal from the beginning; they did not “cave” to anyone.
Bad idea to put one’s faith in a man, besides.
Mr. Cruz has already been labeled an extremist. It’s just sad that many of those doing the labeling come from his own party.
