Yes but let’s get all the facts out. Cruz voted to advance the TPA bill, which also included a worker aid package favored by Democrats.
Cruz said. “I cannot vote for TPA unless McConnell and Boehner both commit publicly to allow the Ex-Im Bank to expire and stay expired.”
Is Cruz pro-TPP still? It sure appears so, the Ex-Im bank not expiring was his problem. Cruz is pro-free trade, he has said so. I am willing to give him a little time to get smart on the issue because he is so smart on most other issues but time is running out and a vote on TPP is coming soon.
His final vote was “No” because he meant “No,” not because his vote wasn't needed.
