Obama signed the USA’s Death Warrant tonight the TPP and Cruz helped obama to pass it even writing an op ed campaigning to give Obama fast track trade authority.
Hmm.....I might just have to find a replay of this one, if it was that good.
Thanks!

Thanks again for your after Caucus thread Windflier.
Great idea.
Ted's vote for TPA is the very thing that caused me to come to a full stop in supporting him for president. If Trump hadn't jumped into the race, I'd probably be sitting here without a candidate.
We have got to hope that President Trump will roll back TPP and the rest of Obama's bloody agenda.
I didn’t think he came in dead last. My connection isn’t pristine, so I didn’t see all of it, but I thought he represented himself decently tonight.
His comment on Carson made me cringe, but what else can he say. That was my one significant observation.
You’re welcome, Doughty. I’m glad you chimed it, ‘cause I almost forgot to go vote :-)
One of the things I like about Trump, is he doesn’t mince words.
When he tells you what he thinks on a subject, you know it hasn’t been crafted by 13 screenings of focus groups.
He may be off a bit, but he’s not B.S.ing you either.
Give me a guy like that. I may not always agree with him, but at least he respects me enough to give me a straight comment on it.
That's going to be true of any candidate's hard core supporters, though even some hard core supporters have it in them to be fair in how they rate other candidates.
I don't mind giving credit where credit is due, but I'm as biased towards my guy as any other person is toward theirs.
Hey, I’m glad you got it in.
I really appreciate folks taking part.
Truthfully Ted got schlonged tonight and its hard to feel too sorry for him. He should have quickly apologized and moved on instead he tried to have his cake and eat it too by continuing to apologize but kind of say he didnt’ really do anything wrong. CNN was body slamming him over it after the debate. Not a good thing.
Ted Cruz not only voted for it but also campaigned for months to give Obama unlimited trade power even writing this article in favor of giving Obama fast track authority on trade: http://paulryan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398270 . This article was published in the Wall Street Journal.It’s just propaganda full of lies.
Tonight Obama used this trade power to sign the TPP , the worst thing literally ever for America
I was a little shocked when Trump shooshed Jeb and then started berating the booing audience. But it was a gutsy thing to do and it also instantly changed the subject from one of Trumps weakest positions and pitted him against the establishment which helps him with most of his followers. I think it made him look a little like a bully, but people want a strong leader to stand up to the rest of the world. So over-all I thought it was actually a good night for Trump with the public... probably much less so with the pundits.
“We have got to hope that President Trump will roll back TPP and the rest of Obama’s bloody agenda”
That would be a wonderful dream turned into reality
The only real problem for Cruz tonight is that CNN is calling him a liar for saying it took them 3 hours to “correct” their initial Carson Tweet. They say there was nothing to correct and that it was less that two minutes before the entire correct story was out there on Twitter.
One of my reasons for favoring The Donald is a little sadistic.
I have a few friends and more relatives who are “progressives” and Trump makes their heads explode.
Do you read any articles and the comment sections at any other sites like Breitbart, gateway pundit or American Thinker?
It isn’t just the people at Free Republic that are in favor of Trump nearly 2-1.
Trump got 24% in Iowa. And he has the highest unfavorables nationally of any candidate ever.
(Ted "The Schlongee" Cruz was schlonged tonight by "The Schlonger".)
