There is NO REASON for such a bill to be held in secrecy.
I like Cruz, but do not trust politicians to make such decisions.
Remember immigration reform under Bush43? Everyone on our side was for it until the people spoke up and flooded them with calls, emails and visits.
We do not have that opportunity here.
What you don’t realize is that you ARE allowing politicians to make a decision here. For some reason, you think the bill failing is a NON decision while the bill passing IS a decision. Your logic just failed you completely.
You are allowing politician Elizabeth Warren and politician Chuck Schumer to make a decision, and you trust them more than you do Ted Cruz. Think about that. Think about that. YOU ARE MAKING A DECISION to agree with some of the most radical politicians in American history.
And the Bush analogy is just ridiculous. I don’t care what Freepers were bamboozled by Bush. I never was. Not by any member of that family.
This is the difference between governors and U.S. senators; a governor’s positions, his record and his accomplishments are more clearly and easily read and understood. Whereas in the Senate, where long shot amendments often represent mere grandstanding when they have no possible chance of advancing, and where votes are fungible and too often stand-ins for accomplishment, or temporarily representative of popular opinion, depending on if a senator even voted (if not that can be purposeful) or if their leadership allowed them to vote one way or the other (because there were enough votes to pass it, or kill it) and their constituents back home wanted it to pass (or to fail) thus the wink-wink vote (because the outcome is already known), to be cited as “bedrock” ideology as questions arise during election time.
