The more I studied it, the more I saw the merits.

Yeah, right. You and Cruz are the only people who understand. The rest of us are too stupid to know that giving Obama a blank check with TPA and hoping he won't cash it with TPP will all work out OK.

Cruz admits that TPP may not be good - but the only way to kill TPP is to kill TPA. But no, you guys are principled geniuses.

TPA puts restrictions on the President that he currently doesn’t have. It requires Congress to be involved in negotiations and requires transparency of the trade deal, something that we have not had to this point. And no, it doesn’t guarantee TPP will pass. It guarantees that if the deal does not meet the restrictions of TPA, it will be DOA.

We have too many folks up for re election, nobody trusts Obama, and TPP will be voted on late 2016, with an unprecedented level of scrutiny.

TPP is not going to happen.
