The point is: No one represents YOU better than YOU.
The less representation by elected officials one needs, the better.

Cruz’ vote was not needed. Any dealing he did was to get his “ticket” punched.

Yes!! Shockingly bad judgment on Cruz’ vote, which was according to his reasoning, really a vote of trust for McConnell and a very foolish rejection of the senate’s real wizard, Jeff Sessions.
I mean, duh, big time.
It does make you want to take a look at Cruz contributors link, up thread @ #21. A very strange vote, indeed.

If only Trump would stake out some conservative positions.You and me both.
First his immigration paper, now he's reiterating his TPP position?
Sure has me wondering if he's conservative.

“He essentially said he was fooled (lied to), but at the time I think he was tacking back to get closer to the fleet.”
In an interview with Mark Levin, he claimed that “leadership” lied to him by saying they would include a prohibition clause on immigration in the bill. That doesn’t actually add up, because he obviously knew it was not in the bill the first time he voted for it (TPA). He didn’t vote for it the second time because his vote was not needed for it to pass.

Cruz has a real problem in trying to finesse his (not-so-LI) supporters. Plus Elephants can carry a grudge for a long while....

Trump Conservative? Hahaha.
My hope is that he can get inside the GOPee and pull the trigger on the vest.
Figuratively of course.

“If only Trump would stake out some conservative positions.”
Most of what he has staked out are conservative positions — immigration, trade, building up military, make America great again, end of political correctness, pro-life, etc.

Great post!

Trump himself railed against the TPP last June, also warning that Obama would later let China get onto the deal through the back door (because hes weak) and more generally arguing that the TPP would make it easier for China to continue feasting out of American workers lunch buckets.
In other words, the coming debate over the TPP gives Trump the perfect opportunity to do what hes already been doing to great effect: test the true nature of opinion among rank-and-file Republican voters, by forcing real debates out into the open on issues that had previously remained deliberately vague or walled off from real discussion by GOP orthodoxy.

Trump is essentially a Nelson Rockefeller clone. At best. I’d still vote for him in the General.

FRiend, I know that.
The rest of my post still stands though.
I used the opportunity of my reply to you to clarify my position, yet again.

Trump Conservative? Hahaha.That may very well be true, and I most likely will be very disappointed more than once by what he does.
However, it's pretty hard not to consider his immigration and TPP stances conservative.
