I suspect the dems have concluded the next POTUS will be a Republican and have decided they need to start placing some limits on executive authority...
I think you’re right.
Ryan, Boner and the rest of the rinos are all in a meeting. They’re saying to Boner “Surely Obama won’t spill the dirt he has on us. It’s not our fault it failed.”
And Boner replied “No, he’ll save the dirt to blackmail us on something in the future.”
Interesting take on the topic.
"By doing so, they brought down legislation granting the president trade promotion authority — the power to negotiate trade deals that cannot be amended or filibustered by Congress — before it could even come to a final vote."
In other words, Democrats saw this as a ploy to deal them out of the game and said, "Oh, hell no."
The GOP scum have no such excuse.
This rising probability the Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, may fail in gaining access to the Oval Office, is beginning to feed on the minds of most of the Democrat caucus in both the House and Senate.
May their thinking become fully consumed by this doubt.
Joe, I think ya nailed it pal. All factors point to a R going into the White House in 2016...let’s make sure the prez will be a conservative.

That is it exactly. They don’t want a Republican President to make trade deals, period.
That bill allows the president to make trade deals and limits the congress to voting the deal up or down (no amendments can be added). So, it doesn’t mean the president can make deals that can’t be struck down - they can be by congress’s up or down vote.
