Given the level of ignorance and self delusion rampant among the Trump supporters, it would be far preferable if they weren’t so engaged.”

“self delusion”??

I am so glad I read your post, because maybe you can explain Cruz’s votes to me. I have been trying for months, and asking the same question, but no one has even offered an attempt.

First, of course, is the TPA vote. TPA is an Obama/globalist agenda initiative. Cruz worked with Paul Ryan, Mr. Establishment, to get it rolling. He wrote pieces for the media extolling it. When Sessions warned him about language in the bill that usurped Congress’s authority over immigration, he said Sessions did not know what he was talking about. The bill was completely toxic even without that in it.

He voted for cloture to get TPA to the floor for a vote, and as Cruz himself has pointed out, a vote for cloture is a vote for the bill. Then he voted for the bill. So that is TWO votes for TPA.

When the bill passed the House and returned to the Senate, he voted against the bill because his vote was no longer needed for passage. It also afforded him the opportunity to go about the country and tell all the low-information types that he voted against TPA. Or, more famously, he was for it before he was against it.

He later told Levin on his show that he had to vote against the bill the second time because he did not know about the immigration language and that “leadership” had promised him they would remove it, but did not. Cruz lied.

Next, he voted for the Corker bill, an Obama/globalist agenda initiative, a bill that was written by the White House that plainly and quickly enabled the Iran treaty, which contravened the Constitution. Cruz, Mr. Constitution, never blinked an eye.

Can you explain these votes by Cruz, a man highly touted that just will not bow to the Establishment, a man who stands rock-ribbed in defense of the Constitution, except the natural born clause, of course.
