Try not to feel less about Cruz “always”......he knows what he’s doing...and it will benifit this country, not others, first and foremost. Things are not always what they are ‘made to appear’.....especially in a Presidential run when there’s alot of disinformation flying about.
I based supporting Cruz, on the man that he is...the stuff that comes out of his mouth, where he has stood, is from a man who believes every bit what he says regarding our country. We need to give him room...he’s “playing” this Presidential field he’s walking and getting hammered as he does....the fact people were posting Cruz was for TPP and confusing it with his support for TPA should heave shown us there’s those posting that do so by jumping the gun.
We knew from the get go that Cruz would have many enemies if he ran...and we knew the people would mislead Cruz supporters to curtail supporting him.
Hang in there...in time you will understand what you might not currently.
Hey cheer up. After the presidential election Cruz will still be a senator. Its not like he’s going to be out on the street and living off Heidi’s 6 figure income. :-)
That is exactly my take on it, too.
Cruz has ALWAYS been a staunch constitutional conservative; never waffled; never sold out; always done what he said he would do and maintained his integrity and fealty to our BOR and constitution in all his endeavors. People like that don’t suddenly change.
I think there IS a lot of confusion and chaos re TPA, whether it is intentional or just the current info feed process (like the Trayvon/MikeBrown/Baltimore hysteria). That seems to be the way everything is disseminated any more. People take radical leaps and MUST TALK/ACT NOW!
Also, I think we panic because we are so desperate to change things and angry at the Left and GOPe.
Ted Cruz, after all, is a senator from the state of Texas - representing Texas. He mentioned in the NH radio interview that 3 million (if I remember right) jobs in Texas depend on international free trade. That might have had something to do with his ‘yes’ vote. He might also think possible problems with the bill can be dealt with. Appears to me he always considers the long game and overall picture.
Anyway, no one is perfect and he is the best we’ve had in a long time. Lets just take a breath and not jump out of the frying pan into the fire just yet.
JMHO
The only thing that concerns me about Ted Cruz is what came out of his own mouth this week about TPA. There is nothing else to be be learned about TPP that will give me any comfort whatsoever about Congress yielding another inch of its Constitutional powers to the Executive branch. It bothers me a great deal that Cruz supports it.
