After Senate Democrats helped partially kill—or at least temporarily stall—Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)’s desire to implement President Barack Obama’s trade agenda on Thursday, McConnell and his fellow GOP leadership folks vowed to bring it back to life again.
But former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, says Republicans should leave it dead rather than hurting American workers with a big, secret trade deal none of them have read.

It will pass. Obama’s just getting played by his own party.
this TPP is many times worse than NAFTA or Obamacare.Worst bill ever imo:
The controversial TPP, of course, is disguised as a treaty to promote “free trade” — more properly described as managed or corporatist trade — among nations surrounding the Pacific. However, the TPP agreement, currently being negotiated behind closed doors by governments, dictatorships, and special interests, includes some major surprises. As The New American reported recently, a leaked chapter of the TPP deal would create NAFTA-style international “tribunals” with the purported authority to override American laws, courts, and even the U.S. and state constitutions — all for the benefit of special interests, foreigners, and crony capitalists. The American people and self-government would be the big losers.
Another chapter of the agreement making headlines this week, meanwhile, purports to regulate immigration policies among TPP signatories. “The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes an entire chapter on immigration,” observed Curtis Ellis, executive director of the American Jobs Alliance, in a post for The Hill. “It is a Trojan horse for Obama’s immigration agenda. House members who were ready to defund the Department of Homeland Security to stop President Obama’s executive action on immigration must not give him TPA, which he will use to ensure his immigration actions are locked in when he leaves office.”
No fan of Schmuckabee, but he’s riht on this point...stop screwing the Reagan Democrats, bring them into the fold, and screw the libtards...
It’s there for the taking...but I ain’t saying the GOP has any brains.
I would automatically vote “no” on any bill I had not been able to read. The fact that so many Republicans have lined up to support this turkey based solely on Jugear’s word says a lot about them.
To me it says they are Democrats in R jerseys who are selling out their constituents.
The Uniparty wins, the people lose.
My definition of bipartisanship.
