Frankly, all eight of these amendments should be automatically added to every damned bill the US Senate considers. Especially for any bill that gives Obama money to continue destroying this country.

Right you are but I wonder if it will be Cruz or Trump who is most criticized for the harm he is doing to the Republican "party? "

Absolutely the wrong approach. This is what continues to make me have suspicions about Cruz. When you tack this on to unrelated crap, it makes it soooooo easy to override the amendment for the "purity" of the bill. This will go nowhere, and Cruz knows it. Here is specifically how you deal with all this:

Iran: NO! The place to stop this was in stopping the Corker Bill, which Cruz voted FOR. There is an easy way to stop this friggin' treaty: KILL IT IN THE SENATE, where Cruz is a member. Here's the bottom line. If Cruz doesn't have enough influence, smarts, ability to get a vote against this treaty in the Senate, then he's not going to be an effective president.

Obamacare: NO! Introduce a simple repeal Obamacare bill. I'm stunned that NO ONE in either the House or the Senate has done this yet. It's the quickest way to get everyone on record as for or against Obamacare with no other camoflage.

On and on. This is the most ineffectual ways to try to do anything because they will just override each amendment in part then pass the original bill and say, "Oh, I voted against that because it was a highway bill, not the treaty."
