CANDIDATES' SNOW JOB ON OBAMATRADE (Cruz, Kasich, Rubio and TPP)
WND ^ | 3/11/16 | CURTIS ELLIS

It’s election season, and that means it’s blizzard season – a blizzard of lies.

The Michigan primary made it clear that the American people reject the free trade agenda of the donor class. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders rode the anti-free trade wave to victory.

In case any of the other candidates missed the point, a poll released this week provided further evidence that fealty to the myth of free trade is a sure-fire way to lose elections.

Now that it’s clear how the American people feel, the presidential candidates are furiously trying to cover their tracks.

The first question in Thursday’s GOP debate was about trade. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and John Kasich all pretended they opposed Obamatrade, when in fact they all supported it.

In the past, John Kasich said he supports the Trans-Pacific Partnership, TPP, the globalist deal the Obama administration negotiated.

But Ohio has suffered mightily from so-called free trade deals. Voters can be expected to reject any candidate that supports more of the same, even if that candidate happens to be their governor.

Kasich knows this, so on the stump he slams “international bureaucrats” that would beat up American workers, though the TPP he supports would empower those very bureaucrats at the expense of Americans. And don’t expect Kasich to remind voters he supported NAFTA when he was a congressman.

As for Marco Rubio, he has said TPP is one of the three pillars of his foreign policy. If that weren’t bad enough, the absentee senator from Florida cast the deciding vote to give Obama fast track negotiating authority, which stripped Congress of its constitutional authority to revise whatever TPP agreement Obama sends to the Hill, and lowered the threshold of passage from 60 votes to a simple majority.
