He’s pulling a Rubio. For a bill during the fight then against it after it doesn’t matter.
Conservatives in favor of fast tracking secret Obama “trade” deals was an insane idea to start. The whole idea that TPA “wasn’t the problem” is the biggest beltway scam since Obamacare. Shame on anybody who supported it at any point.
Like Mark Levin said “Why would you fast track a trade deal Obama wants when Obama does not believe in free trade?” Looks like McConnell also lied to Cruz according to this article. Good thing Cruz figured out what a snake he is before he voted on the TPA.
“He’s pulling a Rubio. For a bill during the fight then against it after it doesn’t matter.”
Umm... it matters since the “final” vote hasn’t been taken yet. Voting yes the first time gave Cruz he opportunity to make constructive changes, add amendments, offer criticism. Voting no, he just becomes another whiner that Obama is for it therefore Cruz must be against it.
What really puzzles me is EVERYONE on this site knows who Cruz is and what he represents. Cruz was voting on something that every President since Roosevelt has asked for and there is no reason why this President shouldn’t be afforded the same opportunity. Cruz did what was right for the office of the President. Not for Obama. He did what was right for American industries participating in foreign trade. To bring jobs to America.
When you look at the subsequent bills that are being created once the TPA was approved and signed, that’s where there would be a big NO. Cruz already said that.
And now that the TPA has been changed, all bets are off.
This isn’t complicated.
