Did he ever explained why he voted for it?

Ted Cruz surprisingly had a very large donor in the 30 million dollar range. Donating to a Ted Cruz super pac. My opinion is this donor had certain demands and TPP was one of them....

Yeah, he claims that he was snookered by Mitch McConnell, despite his staff pleading with him to not do it.

Although I support Cruz, I have trouble buying his explanation and think that he actually had some sort of deal with certain campaign donors to support TPA/TPP alongside Ryan, but then something happened behind the scenes and he suddenly reversed himself.

I THINK I remember Cruz later admitting he was wrong.
