Just yesterday someone was blasting Cruz because he was going to support this bill.
Today he voted no. So much for that charge.
Okay, this wasn’t the full bill yet.
Republicans were under pressure to oppose the customs bill.
The Club for Growth, a conservative outside group, said ahead of the vote that it would include the customs vote as part of its congressional scorecard.
“Our largest objection to this bill is the currency language that was added during the committee markup conducted earlier this year,” the group said. “This new language would designate currency manipulation as a prohibited export subsidy, and thus, allow the government to take remedial action against the foreign country in question.”
At least Cruz got it right on this one.
That vote is at 2 pm . They shouldn't allow any fast track . The constitution says that 66% of the Senate has to approve any trade bill . To allow an up or down vote means just 50% need to pass it which is basically just giving in to Obama. But it seems like that is what they will do.
To let it get to the up or down that is the surrender. And then some may vote against it just to run in the election knowing that it will pass anyway. if it passes ALL are to blame no matter how they voted. they should filibuster or do something.
Why arent the conservative filibustering this disaster???
Why is Sessions and Cruz and Lee and Paul snd Rubio - all the supposed conservative not filibustering ????
Why can only the Dems Fight ???
Why are they letting them getting Cloture vote now !
we have been SOLD OUT .
K street owns the Gop!
Every single one!
I am with Warren on this. If the bill is so great make it public.
