His explainations are lame. Secrecy alone should be enough to sink the Trade authorization. I didnt see where Cruz dropped by to read the thing before voting for it.
so you’re in bed with Elizabeth Warren and all the Democrat radicals in congress on this one then. Good to know.......
But I’m gonna embarrass your “lame” comment in a bit.
I think this deal is above your head and pay grade, but here is Cruz so called “lame” explanation: He didn’t duck the issue or give a pabulum BS answer either:
“’In my home state of Texas, there are over 2.2 million jobs that depend on exports,” Cruz said. “Trade benefits farmers, it benefits ranchers, it benefits manufacturers. When we open up new markets across the globe, it creates jobs and economic growth and opportunity here at home.’
But Cruz was also careful to thread the needle between being pro-business and still being a vocal critic of the Obama administration. When asked if he trusted Obama to negotiate a trade deal, Cruz said that he believed the administration could “do very little,” yet he was comfortable enough that Congress would have a vote on any deal the president negotiated.
‘The next 20 months are going to be very dangerous. The Obama administration has proven to be the most lawless and abusive in history, but one of the few areas where this administration has been willing to support positive economic policies is in the area of international trade,’ Cruz said, before going on to criticize his Democratic colleagues for standing in the way of TPA. Cruz jokingly classified President Obama’s disagreement with those in his party like Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Democrat-on-Democrat violence.”
Liz Warren being against is should be enough to sink the other side of the argument either. Sorry ma’am, this one is not an ideologically clear battle.
