Yeah you have, he’s lumped Rubio, Rand, Cruz together as excellent potentials and at this point its no longer a question where Rubio’s alliances are, they are with the crony capitalist RINO’s...Boehners boys.

Mark needs to stop it and call out Rubio on this crap...Cruz/Rubio are not on equal footings ideologically and in practice.

Yes, we have a national government. Would that we had a federal government.

So how does that make Rubio the deciding vote?

*****************

Pretty much a play on words since there were 59 other yea votes any of which
could be called the deciding vote. I think the accusation comes from the fact
this was a roll call vote and when Rubio was called he voted aye which
happened to be the 60th vote.

But this vote was on trade authority. It was not the treaty. At any other time in the past, the vote was just a formality

Ah, a voice of reason. Now when the treaties come up for a vote, it will be an up or down vote - no amendments to take cover behind, or add pork/favors. Since Obama will be submitting them to a Republican House/Senate, good luck passing them when they have to be posted for 60 days before a vote can take place. Then when a Pubbie wins in 2016, with coattails to keep the House/Senate, there will be no excuse to get Republican treaties passed.

"Rubio continues to disappoint."

I've tried so hard to fight through the setbacks and hold him in higher esteem. But he just keeps slapping me down.

All this means is this “law” is a dead letter. Not a law at all... but to see it you have to reject legal positivism.

He’s a Bush creation. You expected something different?

Sorry, but a LEADER brings people to HIS side; they do NOT ‘listen and learn’. WE can choose to follow...or not. They are to persuade US, not the other way around. THAT is a ‘leader’.

Nor does one represent his constituency by ‘doing his own thing’.

Sorry, Cruz WAS wrong when it mattered. Period.

Unfort., even here, there’s too much ‘YOUR rep sucks...vote HIM out; mine is fine and dandy’ (like everyone’s own brood is an ‘angel’..the problem lies with the OTHER kids) to make any difference in D.C. anyway.

Bullshit. One does not pass reams of lawyer-speek to re-affirm what’s been the ‘normal’ for 40 yrs.

This is another slap-down of the Constitution by a feckless GOP whom control 2/3 of D.C. but cannot do dick-squat FOR We the People, but would cross Heaven and Hell to pass whatever the DEM/Dumbo/CoC wish while obliterating anyone in their own party that stand in their way.

You really need to do your homework.

There is a lot of difference between a TPP and the TPA.

The TPP is important. The TPA, while important, its not going to change a thing.

The TPA has long time effects on many trade negotiation processes.

The TPP is the trade deal that will be a big deal come fall.

Of course, it is possible to get all worked up over anything, or nothing. Perhaps its just fun to get worked up.

While I despise Obama, I am not delusional to think that our Congress will do anything. They talk a good game every 18 months when they need a vote, but for the most part they are corrupt pigs eating at the trough.

I cannot believe that someone would consider a member of that organization for any job higher than dog catcher.

EXACTLY!!!...I'm starting to wonder about the knowledge of some of the hotshot posters on FR....

Flame away if u must..but in the old days...someone with some historical knowledge would have straightened this out in 3 post!....(Cruz understands this...but some idiots here dont understand what he's about to teach them when he votes no on the actual bill.....and explains WHY for both his votes!!).

Huge, huge fail.

He has said for years that the DNC and the MSM sets up the days talking points. He said that he is the only one that recognizes that and that he talks ONLY about what is really going on.

Rush is in on all of this BS! Prove me wrong!

When nut-cut week came along with regard to TPA/TAA he took the entire week off with no forewarning.

We are SO screwed! We have no advocate!

Rush wants to talk about "white-Black" woman, transvestwhatevers, and football travesties.

I don't give a damn.
