Cruz gave TPA to the 0bama admin! And, after initially supporting TPP, Ted Cruz now claims to have changed his position.

How conservative is that?

Cruz was also incorrect when he implied that TPA is separate from TPP. TPA (Trade Promotion Authority) was the “fast-track” bill that gave up Congress’s right to amend or filibuster TPP and which reduced the number of votes required to pass TPP from two thirds of the Senate to a simple majority in each chamber.

So this "constitutional conservative" is OK with bypassing the deliberative role of the Senate and helped engineer a situation where TPP could be passed with a simple majority vote, instead of the 2/3 majority typically required for a Treaty.

How conservative is that?

Vote Trump
