Nine others [Repubs] switched to yes on final passage after voting with Cruz to say the bill itself was unconstitutional. ... Those nine Republicans ended up providing the margin of victory for the underlying cromnibus, which passed 56-40.If those nine had stayed conservative, cromnibus would've failed, 49 against, 47 for.
They voted against it before they voted for it.

Chambliss, Coburn and Inhofe the NON-Voters last night, probably would have voted for CRUZ since their views on illegals are very similar.
Voting for the 1.1T with all it’s pork, not so sure they would have voted against that.
Oklahoma had no rep in the senate last night, what’s up with that?

Will be interesting to see where the 9, is it 9, new R Senators lie . . . with the GOPe or with real conservatives like Cruz, Lee & Sessions.
