Ok, so then who are you supporting? why do you many of you who bash Cruz never say who you support?
Which candidates voted differently on these issues than Cruz? Prove it.
I wouldn’t waste your time with these people. The single issue only trade protectionists are getting almost as bad as the RuPaul isolationist blame-America first crowd with the constant ranting.
There’s major problems with this bill, but as was pointed out by others the sides are not fully divided along a conservative/liberal spectrum here. Obama was for it and Elizabeth Warren was against it.
The people here posting article after article about TPP b*tching about Cruz and this 1 vote are not serious about saving the country and have an agenda if they are willing to throw the man overboard on the basis of 1 vote which does not fall strictly along ideological lines since there’s issues on both sides.
Either you believe Ted Cruz is a true conservative that you can trust OR you don’t. He gave what I thought was a very logical explanation and why I might disagree with the bill and would prefer this not be dealt with until after Obama leaves office, I don’t see this vote as some kind of hidden agenda on the part of Cruz to deceive or lie. I just don’t agree with it.
As for your other question about whom these people support, I’ve seen Trump’s name come up.
I’ve also seen Tom Cotton’s name come up being championed as the lone person that opposed this vote (or maybe I’m thinking of another vote). My point is Cotton was immediately heralded as a hero and champion of true conservatism. Um ok, but I’m pretty sure before he got to the Senate he voted several times in 2011-2014 to increase the debt ceiling. But now, because of this 1 issue and this 1 issue only, he’s a champion and those other votes can be forgotten.
Yet Cruz’s history of a solid record is discarded because of 1 vote?
Yeah, that makes perfect sense ?!
Only those candidates that are senators were allowed to vote.
It's a fair question and I'll respond with the truth.
I don't know yet, but I'm leaning Walker. More on what he says recently then his history, which is a good one.
That said, I am adamantly undecided.
I will express my views publicly and loudly, I will call out any and every candidate when I think they are acting contrary to the essential interests of the Republic.
Yes, I could vote for Cruz.
But there's no way in holy hell I'll let him off the hook for this and his immigration policies.
I'll Excoriate him and every other candidate for the same issues.
