Sounds more like he was for what he was lead to believe it was, and against what it's actually turning out to be.

Yes, yes he was.

I’m glad he came out against it the second time around. But a lot of what he cites was already out there before the first vote, and like others he had the ability to see all that and the “secret” draft copies of the actual trade bills.

Sessions came to a very different conclusion, Cruz came around to it. Whether he did so because he didn’t read the material ahead of the original vote or because he saw his Conservative support starting to waver we won’t know. While this won’t be a factor (now) in any decision I make to vote for him, I can’t deny that this hasn’t diminished him.

Yes, and for good reason. And he will be for TPA again when the trade deals that can use it get clear of the influence of Obama and Boehner.

Because TPA is not the problem, Obama/Boehner are the problem.
