Ben Carson Backs White House's TPP Trade Deal
WSJ ^ | 11/06/15 | Reid J. Epstein

Posted on 11/06/2015 2:32:41 PM PST by Enlightened1

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Friday that he supports the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement negotiated by the White House – aligning himself more with the GOP’s establishment wing than with the social conservatives who have powered his campaign.

“He thinks with TPP it will allow us to store more grain in the pyramids. :)”

LOL, that’s funny.

Based on his 2A comments, I was leery of him before anyone including him was even talking about him running. It just went downhill from there.

Carson is now for the TPP, a war in Syria, forced inoculation (aka medical tyranny) and everyone is all worked up about his comments on West Point?

Adios Ben... I will never support this guy.

Trump/Cruz 2016


Dittos.

Just for the record, the TPP will allow foreign companies to bring in foreign workers to the US, AND PAY THEM FOREIGN WAGES, LEGALLY. As if big companies weren’t ALREADY destroying American jobs fast enough, now the U.S. government - and Dr. Ben Carson - have to pig-pile on top of us.

WTF, over?????

This TPP kind of stuff should, and would, doom him.

Not some made up lies by Politico

Does anyone know where Cruz stands on TTP? Ted had some issues with the TPA piece and the Import/Export Bank and immigration but not sure how he finally voted on TPP.

TPP has not come up for vote. It has to be reviewed for 90 days and was just released for review this week.

I am not expecting Cruz to be in favor of it due to the immigration issues. He and Sessions offered immigration language in the TPA Bill that would have prevented the immigration issues with TPP, but Rand Paul and some other Senator blocked the vote on that amendment.

And you are so right. Carson is dead meat.

I think you are correct in your prediction. How many issues can one be completely wrong on before those positions take their toll?

Do not follow me from thread to thread. That is in direct violation of FR rules. And don’t think I won’t report you. I will.

That said, I am a Trump supporter and know a hell of lot more about him that you. So, as my friend Kimee used to say, back off, Jack.

THIS is a deal-breaker for me.

I wonder if he really understands what TTP does.

“His book went from 66 on Amazon last week to 847 as of today.”

LOL. That’s funny. Wait until his supporters get wind of the fact that Carson supports the TPP trade deal and said so today (as reported by the Wall Street Journal). Hah, Carson is toast.
