“Up or down vote” means the Senate has surrendered their 60-vote cloture right and surrendered the right of ANY member of either part of Congress to offer amendments. It has also taken away the right of filibuster.
Don’t treat us like ignorant fools. If TPP was so great they would not be refusing to let us see this mess until after the law was changed via TPA to make it easier to force it down our throats.
Giving those powers away DOES surrender power to the President. It is absolutely insulting for Cruz to do something and then think we are so stupid that he can convince us he didn’t do something that he just did!!!
I feel so betrayed by Ted Cruz and I was a fool that donated to his campaign and talked to numerous people about him.
Now I am spending far more time telling folks I was wrong and that he is a fraud. Thank God we have so many folks to choose from and the election is 17 months away so we can move on and find someone we can trust.
Cruz and Sessions are saying completely different things about the same thing they have read. One of them is lying and I am pretty darn sure it is Ted Cruz.
And to top it all off he has now alienated and infuriated millions of Republican voters for no benefit or reason because the bills have died. Brilliant move.
So, Cruz is lying to you? He has a better record than Sessions, who supported CAFTA btw, but you think Cruz is less honest?
Maybe, both are reading the same thing but understanding it differently...like all of us on here.
I am sorry you feel so “betrayed” by Cruz. Must be tough to figure out who to support now...or do already know. Hmmm...
