I haven’t yet read enough to comment on this news, but will anyway.

Some of us expected this. Frankly, the so-called “test vote” was taken initially when too many voted for the first “test”. But, I suppose tolerating an idea of a thing is different than, in the end, actually voting for the dang thing, although Cruz did first vote to tolerate the idea of a second vote.

The initial vote lent a heck of a big assist to this Obama empowerment effort, and now at last it seems enough throats have been slashed and arms twisted that this test vote moves all things along. Of course, I am grateful that Cruz in the damn clinch voted “right”.

I don’t know what to think, actually. It seemed so clear to me how, initially, in the very first vote, to vote. How do they do it, Vetsy, play around with these things, and sleep at night?

First vote was the proverbial camel’s nose underneath the tent...

Cruz represented the state of Texas. Cornyn was just on singing the praises of TPA. Don’t think Cruz’s enemies won’t use his “No” vote against him back home.
