political POS.
Where in the world was Senator Ted Cruz?
After railing for weeks against Loretta E. Lynch, President Obamas pick to be attorney general, speaking against her on the Senate floor and voting against a procedural motion to move ahead to her confirmation, Mr. Cruz the Texas Republican and 2016 presidential candidate missed her final vote on Thursday afternoon.
The reason? He had to catch a flight to Texas for previous commitments in Dallas, including a fund-raiser, according to a campaign spokeswoman.
He was the only senator to skip the vote.

His position is. We could save money getting him out of office. Probably was to meet with the Kock brothers and friends. What a POS.

Slipping out of town to go home and raise more money. We can see your priorities Mr. candidate. "I will vote against Lynch!!!!" Yep. We got the picture.
