Have you listened to the interview in the link here?

I just did. If you haven't you should.

It goes a long way in explaining why he voted, and where his disagreement with Sessions is. I've appreciated both of these senators, have trusted them more than any other for a long time. They disagree, they're both smart, and both wanting the best for the US, both wanting to apply conservative principles in doing so. They disagree here.

I'm going to cut him some slack and let the dust settle a bit. Throwing him under the bus without letting him defend what he did is far from the right course.

Thank you, sharky. I will listen to it.

I have no intention of throwing Cruz under the bus, particularly when all the candidates generally supported this trade bill. In that circumstance Cruz would still be the one to vote for among them all.

I do know that I totally disagree with any and all defense of this particular Trade bill, while under this president.

Counting on the future advantage to a future president is too much risk, imho, to leave this president with a year and a half to rearrange this trade agreement.

I also take no comfort in the power allotted to Congress that is claimed to be in it. Under Obama, any major bills being passed places us in danger.

But, I will listen to Ted later today, and very much appreciate the tip. Thanks, Rita

Just reading the headline makes me cringe. This puts the focus on our disagreements versus where it should be - 0bama and the democrats.

This reminds me of FL in the 2012 primary where Newt went after Romney instead of continuing to run against 0bama.

Cruz and Sessions are both on the same team and whatever this disagreement is, it is not about principle and it is not crucial. With or without Cruz, Boehner and McConnell have the votes on the trade bill with their 'bi-partisan' cabal. It was Pelosi who shut this down on Friday. Neither Cruz or Sessions should publicly say the other is WRONG. It is silly, counterproductive and only hurts the larger cause. The democrats love to see headlines like this.

Cruz and Sessions need to meet privately and come to a resolution regarding their perspectives and any future public statements on this trade bill and stop this public fight.

There is no reason to throw Ted Cruz under any bus over this. We need either Cruz or Walker to win the WH in 2016 or it is all over.
