Exactly correct, mrsmel. Cruz was present for the vote that mattered. Anyone who says otherwise either isn’t well informed, or is knowingly pushing nonsense.

The Republicans with whom we should have a problem, are the ones who vote for cloture on a rat policy, knowing that the votes are there for the rats to win the vote, so the GOP can vote against the policy after voting for cloture, then go around telling the low-info public (which is most of it) that they voted against the policy, when they knew the votes to put it over were there when they voted for cloture. This is a stunt they often pull. This time they got 10 GOP votes to put Lynch over the top in the actual vote, and 20 GOP votes for cloture so they could vote on her. It didn't have to happen. I'm sure it would be called a "lynching" by the left, and "borking" just doesn't quite get the attention of the rat base the way "lynching" would.
