I'm pretty sure that "unanimous" means "everybody voted the same way". But then, this could be "Republican unanimous", which would mean whatever they want it to mean.
It helps that the average voter has the attention span of a caffinated goldfish. Cruz could vote 99% the establishment GOP line, but he gives one speech full of Tea Party rhetoric and the rabble are convinced he's "a rebel" - just like McCain is still seen as a "Maverick" even though he long abandoned any semblance of being anything other than a standard-issue GOP cog.
once Teddy gets whatever perk they promised him as a bribe to STFU about Yertle getting the unanimous majority leader vote, he'll stick his thumb squarely in Mitch's eye over the upcoming AG fight
