It shouldn’t be refreshing, because Cruz and others are ignoring the toxicity of both bills together, like a drug that shouldn’t be taken with another drug.
Their tactic is:
1. Try to confuse them.
2. If it doesn’t work, try to convince them they are confused.
Opening up a fact-based debate should not be considered the same as fostering confusion.
We disagree on that point.
I still am unsure whether I agree with Cruz’s conclusions on TPA, BTW. I’m simply responding to what I consider FUD about his tactics in discussing it.
