For some. Others wanted the funding offset with cuts. The package always had a clear majority. It was about getting it to the floor.

Even Cruz deserves credit sometimes for these nuances. Too easy to criticize without context.

We'll see if he asks for offsetting cuts to pay for Harvey relief, then refuses to allow a vote until he gets them.
-
Yes, agree. And will be interesting to compare composition of eventual relief package vs Sandy.

Grossly misleading. They weren't opposed to disaster relief. They were opposed to the pork attached to it.
