Toast Cruz, Obama supporter and enabler on ObamaTRADE,
is no Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan would NOT have given Obama more power,
would NOT have spit in his voters' and supporters' faces,
and would NOT have voted for something SECRET.

He has a deadline to meet at the end of the month. There was a campaign push to fundraise the past couple of days. I received a letter. I’m guessing that what really happened was that the money wasn’t rolling in as fast. I’m sure he was getting a lot of negative feedback from supporters.
There is no other way to look at it SoConPubbie.
Cruz is saying he NOW does not support TPA 1. He was misled. It was a bad deal. There’s no way around that.
He is saying he does not support TPA 2
He was misled on TPA 1.
He discovered the perfidy on TPA 2.
Where has he been for the last 20 years!
Perhaps. But maybe it’s possible that his suck ups, enablers and excuse makers will just look the other way and pretend it did not happen the way it happened.
Then take your rose colored glasses off and look at it objectively.
> “He would not admit to being misled by McConnell on the first, if there wasn’t something wrong with it.”
Are you speaking for Senator Cruz now?
How can the first TPA be bad if expiration of the EX-IM Bank was assured and was in the Bill that was sent to the House?
Now that the TPA has come back to the Senate from the House where the democrats in the House amended the bill to renew the EX-IM Bank, Senator Cruz voted NO.
What is wrong with your comprehension here? Don’t you know from all these threads on this subject that Boehner allowed the democrats to amend the Bill to allow such things as renewal of EX-IM? And many other things as well.
What kind of narrative are you trying to build?
I see clearly that TPA went out from the Senate to the House as a good bill which did no harm and it came back as a different bill with harmful provisions.
What do you see differently?
Are you saying Cruz or anyone should have looked into a crystal ball to see that the House Bill would be amended by liberals and that conservative amendments would be blocked?
I’ll put it into a simple example.
Say I’m in Houston, TX. I go to a Walmart that I am told is a normal Walmart by a colleague. I enter the parking lot and see the Walmart building with normal logos. I enter the store and everything looks normal.
I give a Walmart cashier a 10 dollar bill for payment of an item I want to purchase. The cashier gives me change in Brazilian Real.
Was I supposed to be able and predict the cashier would do that?
Where do you get off trying to hang everything you can around Ted Cruz’ neck?
I’ve asked repeatedly of a handful of anti-Cruz trolls who are constantly all over these threads with the same attacks why they don’t hang Senator Sessions for his vote on the SECRET Iran deal. And not one of them can answer except to divert to another subject or to launch a personal attack.
But if Senator Cruz so much as mentions a kind word about Free Trade as in making an agreement for American producers to sell their goods overseas, you try and bring the house down on him!
Senator Cruz voted YES for a good bill and then voted NO when the Bill was returned as a bad bill. What is so sinister about that?
And if Senator Cruz is such a fraud for voting on the original TPA (which was quite good), then why is Senator Sessions not a fraud for voting for the SECRET Iran deal?
You see where this leads? It leads to insanity. Your whole ‘schtick’ is to hang Ted Cruz in any way you can while ignoring the votes of other fine conservatives.
Mike Lee did not vote NO on the latest incarnation of TPA. Does that make him a fraud as well?
Yes, you are engaged in insanity trying to bring a good man down through false misleading threads and comments.
It won’t work. Ted Cruz has been talking to the grassroots everywhere he goes where he asked about these troubling trade issues and he succeeds in gathering wide fervent support in spite of a handful of trolls that are trying to stir up a sinister narrative.
No, that is what he said.
That is what you guys refuse to admit.
I'm not speaking for anyone. This portion of the article above has Cruz being the one suggesting he was misled.
> “Cruz is saying he NOW does not support TPA 1.”
Bullsh*t noted.
No mystery. Levin sponsor obamatrade.com is American Jobs Alliance. Their website leaves no doubt where they stand which is 180 degrees from free trade.
Andrew is clearly supportive of Ted’s position on this.
Ted changed his position once he determined that Congressional leaders were being dishonest.
Ted is very presidential, a once in a generation Reagan conservative.
Do you consider NAFTA to have been “free market” trading?
That is according to what your boy Cruz just told a few million people. He said that the TPA DOES NOT have any prohibitive immigration language in it. Can I repeat what he said: He and Senator Sessions failed to get a clause inserted that would prohibit any changes in U.S. immigration law forever in TPA. Gowdy said that it did. Get snotty with them.
