In a burst of bipartisanship, the Republican-controlled Senate put President Obama's trade agenda back on course on Thursday, clearing the way for likely approval within days for legislation allowing the administration to negotiate global deals that Congress could support or reject but not change.
The 65-33 vote to resurrect the measure capped two days of political intrigue in which Democrats on both sides of the legislation initially joined forces to block action, then reached agreement with Republicans for votes on other enforcement measures to protect workers who lose jobs as a result of exports.

The GOP is dead. Irrelevant.
GOP is DONE.
I like that - both sides of what? Both sides of the aisle? I guess they let it slip that there truly are RINOs.
I’m so relieved. I wonder what a representative government is like.
Once again the fix is in...
They really are the dumb party ... sorry Ringos ...not voting for you or your kind
Did your “conservative” vote help this come to pass? Turns out mine did. And you want me to continue voting for RINO’s? To what end? If you continue voting for RINO’s you encourage them, hence my refusal to vote for Johnson again. And you question MY conservatism?
GOP leadership is part of The Enemy Within. needs to be voted OUT
Lol. The leadership is only part of the problem. The rest of it is the GOP.
The Republicans clearly don’t even make a pretense anymore of showing concern for their base. They must be confident they don’t need us.
I know I don’t need them.
No. They are not dumb. WE ARE, for thinking there are two major political parties in America.
There isn’t.
There is only single party rule in America. The fruits of where we have arrived are in our face - but most refuse to see it, because to recognize it is too horrible for them to accept.
So we lie to ourselves and pen our hopes on the next illusion of an election that will be touted as “the most important election of our lifetimes’.
You cannot defeat tyranny at the ballot box.
But you can be enslaved by thinking the ballot box will save you.
I fear you are right
But...but...but...you don't vote for Republicans, so you're voting for Hitlery!!! /s
GOP can rot.
Hit them where it hurts — withhold campaign contributions. After this and what they did to Chris McDaniel in Mississippi, I have ZERO loyalty or respect for the republican party. They know the majority of their supporters strongly disapprove of this trade plan but don’t care what we think.
The party has betrayed the trust of the American people. Every damned one of them can rot.
Bipartisanship is where the Uniparty and their cronies cash in at the expense of the citizens and their sovereignty.
Unreal....well no I knew they would do this. What is unreal is only being able to watch the total destruction of this country.
Mitch McConnell will officially hand the Senate back to the Rats in 2016, but he already has in practice. We’ve been had and the uniparty is sweeping all before it.
How did Ted Cruz vote on this?
We told you. We tried and tried. No one would listen.
