Please refer to my post #250. The text in the article was changed by the OP and this caused great consternation, as well as unfairly characterizing a statement by Sen. Cruz. Please compare the text as posted to the original NYT article. Thank you from all those needlessly upset by this.
The title at the NYT URL of the article was changed by them, not the poster of this thread.
Also the text was changed also, in one instance for a correction.
See the note at the top of the article by Admin Mod.
