DONALD TRUMP TELLS SENATE TO VOTE NO ON OBAMATRADE TPA
Breitbart.com ^ | June 22 2015 | Breitbart.com

GOP presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump is warning the Senate against passing Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) on Tuesday.

TPA would give President Obama fast track authority to finalize his trade negotiations without Congress issuing any amendments and only getting an up or down vote on the final deal.

Trump posted on Twitter: “The Senate must NOT pass TPA! Any Senator who votes for it is disqualified for being POTUS. Protect the American worker and manufacturer!”

GOP presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)93% previously voted against TPA, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)93%, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80%, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)47% – all GOP presidential candidates – voted for it.

and Chamber of Commerce owns Rubio, Cruz, and every other congress critter who will vote “Aye”. And CoC owns most governors too. I know of only one governor who has said he opposes this middle class job killing machine, and that is Governor Jindal.

Professional politicians need their sugar daddy rich donors.

“Wait look his fingers are crossed!”

So if you can’t disagree with what he’s saying, you try another tack. Lame

No Republican should vote for this garbage. Not even those two kooky Maine women.

I just don’t believe what he says. He has a track record about lying and changing positions. I wouldn’t trust Bill Clinton either.

Is Trump illiterate? This sentence makes no sense. Does he mean the word "from" instead of "for?"

I think he’s just saying it to get attention. But he probably would support it.

You think Trump covertly supports TPA?

Just curious, do you?

We already know enough about our RINOpubbies.

This will make GREAT AMMUNTION for a Trump to use against them!

Screw the RINOs anyway. We learned last time they are not worth the proverbial bucket of warm spit.

“At this late date the people are still not sure what they support? “.........

Much like Obamacare, you have to pass it to read what’s in it. If Odumbo is for it, this bill is NOT GOOD for America. For the little I know about the bill, I would personally vote “NO”.
