Trump is THE ONLY candidate Iâve heard address this spending bill for the atrocity it is.
B.S!
Then you are woefully uninformed.
As usual, another Trump fan-boy is completely unaware of Ted Cruz's record on an issue:
But shortly after Minority Leader Mitch McConnell left the chamber on Friday for the weekend 'or so he thought' Cruz went rogue. The Republican, who is considered a potential presidential candidate in 2016, strode into the Senate chamber and blew open the agreement. Cruz, accompanied by Sen. Mike Lee, forced members to spend the weekend idly passing dozens of unnecessary procedural bills, all the while preventing a vote on the spending bill.
Ultimately, leadership prevailed. After several hours of tedious procedural votes, McConnell and Majority Leader Harry Reid came together on a deal SatÂurday evening to pass the omnibus spending bill, while Cruz would have his time to speak. With the support of both McConnell and Reid, the omnibus bill passed 56-40. Cruz's measure to declare the bill unconstitutional failed 22-74.
