Good for Rand!

I think you misunderestimate how the relationship works.

It's starting to confuse me honestly.

I'm confused. He voted against the legislation that had the Fast-Track Authority in it? Or did he not? I'm getting mixed signals.

He voted against fast-track authority. The rollcall from the vote is linked in the OP.

Outstanding!

There will still be Rand-haters hating on Rand for failing to hold his jaw right while pressing 'no' though.

There were three key votes. Rand voted against all of them.

Loling at all the angry Ted Cruz fan boys at briertbart for voting for this, can't wait to read the responses over at the neoconrepuplic

Neoconservatives like Krauthammer were pushing for this. Cruz sided with them instead of the Tea Party base.
