Looks like the rino leaders changed the rules. That dirt Obama has on them must be pretty bad.

[trisham]

Thank goodness.

[Qiviut]

I am as confused as you are! I guess I’ll wait for the dust to settle.

This is like waiting for SCOTUS on Obamacare back when they first ruled on it - initial elation, then plunging to the depths of despair when Roberts twisted the law into a pretzel. I’ve learned to keep my powder dry (mostly).

[HoosierWordsmith]

But, I saw that Boehner came out and asked that the House reconsider the TAA portion that failed...trying to get a second try!!! Traitor!

[C19fan]

Boner is going somehow flip 100 votes?

[vette6387]

Final Vote: 302 Nay, 126 YEA. For the everlasting shame of the GOP, they were almost ALL the YEA votes. There needs to be massive retribution at the polls against the GOPE.

[tennmountainman]

Those GOP hacks who voted for this bill now have their asses hanging
out. And as a result, many will have a primary challenger.
And that is a very good thing.!

[Jane Long]

Pretzel law betrayal. Same old play and ploy.

[Theoria]

'TPA is the bill that grants Obama negotiating power, which practically every President has had. Again, that’s my understanding.'

TPA is a recent phenom, in the last 80 years. So it is inaccurate to call that every Pres has had it, secondly, if it was so important, the writers of the Constitution would have suggested it at the time. They have gotten things wrong in the past, but trade was not one of them.

[vette6387]

“Has anyone written the bizarro account of why the GOP and Obama are working this thing and the f**king RATS are the ones “saving” us from it? “

It’s simple: The RATs saw it as legislation that would screw their union buddies out of their jobs and the GOPE was doing the bidding of big business and the US Chamber of Communists.

[Qiviut]

Ok .... from the same Breitbart link (I’m liking this better!):

UPDATE 2:06 EDT Chad Pergram Tweets that the second vote was a poke at President Obama:

Voting on TPA was effort by R’s to show they had votes & demonstrate how few D’s backed Obama. This was a window dressing vote.

UPDATE 2:01 EDT – Politico’s Jake Sherman explains the second vote was symbolic.

FAST TRACK, which is getting a show vote, gets enough votes to pass. But the way process is written, means nothing. Back to drawing board.

Sorry, I really meant every RECENT President has had.

[SaveFerris]

Amen to that

[SoFloFreeper]

Good news, then. Love it.

[fortheDeclaration]

Exposing their treason!

The GOP leadership left them hanging out in the cold.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

So was this one of those if YOU vote for it I’M against it kind of things? Dems hated it because Repubs supposedly liked it????

[fortheDeclaration]

It seems that being in the minority is best for both Parties.

[fortheDeclaration]

We can thank Obama for killing it!

Had he not tried to get more Democrat support it would have passed!

[fortheDeclaration]

At least we have more time to mount more opposition.

Even the Democrats were smart enough not to trust Obama with unlimited power!

The traitors in the GOP were exposed as internationalists.

[fortheDeclaration]

Wasn’t even close!
