Yep! It’s glorious here. :)

As for this Cruz thing, it’s been one of my very few hangups regarding Cruz but there was so much craziness surrounding it and I feel, disinformation, I set it aside as a deciding factor when picking a candidate.

I did have a niggling feeling about it because of these deals and the corruption I felt this was mired in but I hoped Cruz would pull out.

The thing is, I agree with him on the principles of trade. And I think he still agrees with the tenants this legislation should have represented.

But once things became clearer, I’m so very glad he called it out. Supporting the idea of something is different than supporting the application of it, especially when that application is fraught with backroom deals like this one is.

It takes character to do what he did here, I think. So many others would just barrel on but I’m glad he didn’t. He’s one of the few I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt on because he’s proven himself elsewhere.

He had my support before, and he has it now.

Well said. Yet you have ankie-biters yapping about him then and still yapping now.

Seems Cruz is damned either way with some, but I don't give a rip. I'm sticking with him.
