They completely turned the 2/3 requirement for treaties on its head for Corker and TPA.
Completely abdicated their duty to the citizens.
Cruz knew what he was doing.
He doesn’t want us to figure it out.
Unfortunately for him, some of us have.

Got proof?

I am not a "Cruz supporter," as I have said many times citing precisely the TPA and Corker votes. I am absolutely a Trump opponent. So we've got crappy choices, again. Frankly, of all the candidates that started, I thought the best choice was Gilmore.

Congress has been authorizing the President to negotiate with foreign governments for financial dealings as a matter of convenience since the Founders were still active in government. The equivalent of trade promotion authority has been around since 1890 and by ‘presidential proclamation’ since 1934. These have withstood an ample number of legal cases.

Claiming the Senate or Ted Cruz has done something unusual is in error.
