Supported by Speaker Paul Ryan and Candidate Ted Cruz specifically; Joint Op-Ed in that regard.
Those who don’t:
♦ Donald Trump – Position Outline
♦ Mike Huckabee – Position Outline
♦ Rand Paul – Position Outline
♦ Rick Santorum – Position Outline
♦ Chris Christie – Position Outline
Notice that Candidate Donald Trump is the only Top Tier Candidate who stands in opposition to Obama Trade. Borrowing something succinct from a previous comment:
[When it comes to the elimination of Globalism diminishing America] …it’s Trump and only Trump. There is nobody else. We can quibble about who changed their mind about abortion and when, and who said what nice thing about which democrat and when, but none of that matters. None of it. The globalists have unleashed the four horsemen of the American apocalypse.
*They are:
♦ TPP
♦ Amnesty
♦ ObamaCare.
♦ and Common Core.
…and Donald Trump is the only one who rides against them ALL. It’s Trump or no one.
*Notice Specifically these Four Globalist Issues are the Specific legislative priorities of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. THIS IS NOT COINCIDENTAL (link)
The U.S. CoC has spent tens of millions, via K-Street, purchasing legislative support (buying votes) for these issues, the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal specifically. There are TRILLIONS of dollars at stake.
Since Trump is running, in part, on his strength at negotiating and understanding contracts (with emphasis on China specifically), he has probably analyzed the TPP at great length (with the assistance of his lawyers).
Doubtful that Rand has done so.
If Trump is correct about China and TPP, he will make a very BIG deal of this shortly.
