I thought this one was interesting. I didn’t think TPP even included China.

Vote to give permanent Normal Trade Relations [NTR] status to China. Currently, NTR status for China is debated and voted on annually.

Yeah, lets fast track normal relations with a country that just committed a huge act of war against the United States.

This might give Cruz an out. He can now claim to be against TPP because we didn't know about this act of war regarding the information hacking when he supposedly (no one knows for sure since revealing who went into the secret room is also a crime) went into the secret room to read it.

That might work.

But Cruz voted for TPA which puts TPP on a fast track where it is only subject to an up or down vote. That is essentially a vote for cloture on the TPP. Cruz has said dozens of times that the vote for cloture is the important vote. If you vote for cloture, then you are voting for the bill - even if you later vote against it.

Based on Cruz's prior statements, he can't claim to not have supported TPP when he voted to approve TPA. Well, he can "claim" it, but the fact of the matter is that he "owns" it.
