All I can do it look at the evidence and analyze. You don’t seem to understand what Cruz was doing with TPA and Corker no matter how often it's explained.

We understand the reality that you either don't or won't admit. By voting for TPA Cruz ensured that TPP can ultimately pass the Senate with 50 votes instead of 60. That's the bottom line and no amount of insults or weasel words can change it. Then Cruz can safely vote against it while knowing it will pass.

It is true that Cruz can safely vote against TPP, but it is true that McConnell lied to them.

Sessions, however, wasn’t fooled.

This is an unforced error on Cruz’s part, and we shouldn’t try to explain it away to pretend that he is perfect. I know, though, that the other candidates all have their faults. So does Cruz.
