I don’t think his opponents are going to succeed in making him ‘pay’ for anything. Texans back their Senator Cruz immensely.
I would bet seriously that Ted talked personally with some of his most influential constituents to inform them of why he was reversing his vote which had to do with the amendments that Boehner let liberals attach and the amendments by conservatives that Boehner killed.
I sure hope you are correct on the Texas backing. I appreciate your many good posts.
