Senator Cruz did not vote for TPP, nor did he ever support it.  Your statement is an outright lie.


NOPE.  He did.  I don't lie.

That’s because those who backed Cruz in 2016 don’t have the deep, unquestioning, emotional bond Trumpers have with Trump

I have no idea what was going through his mind here. Stupid move.

That is what is concerning. Normally he really thinks things through. Not a good move on his part.  He knows better than to trust Schumer and he knows that he's not going to get the Senate to stand with him. So, IMHO he'll have accomplished nothing positive and come voting time, people do remember.

STOP. @LegalAmerican if you can provide a link to the final Senate vote count where Cruz voted for TPP, please provide. TPP and TPA were 2 different votes; similar but different.

In a procedural vote on June 23, the Senate passed the fast-track legislation once again, 60-38. But this time Cruz cast a "nay" vote.

Cruz explained that he had learned new details of the TPA that smacked of a backroom deal and he would have no part of it.

I posted the video many times; Cruz got up on the floor and called McConnell a liar.

@LegalAmerican

Again, your claim is untrue.  The burden of proof falls upon you to support your claim.  And after you fail to find that proof, be sure to let everyone here know how you have been spouting a claim for years that you cannot substantiate.  Thanks.

@LegalAmerican I provided links to the actual  vote counts for TPA and TPP. Other links as well.

  • Didn't vote for McCain Dole Romney Trump !
It is the norm for him.  Just like he voted for the TPP...that was bad for America.  Then said, "opps', he didn't know that'.  I  thought his job for voting, IS TO KNOW?  He is a professional politician, only about himself.  His wife voted for the Northern American Union.   That would be a globalist issue.  Worked at Sacks.  Then,Ted,  begged to speak at Trump convention. Had a speech, that was approved, then changed it, AGAINST TRUMP,  and left on A/F ONE...WITH OBAMA. 
Not to mention what he did to Ben Carson and Marco Rubio.  Just more of the same behaviors. I don't forget. He also attacked Melania, first, then Trump told him to watch it. 

BS again.... outright lies. Almost like Tom Sea has gone Tranny.

Still waiting.
