EXCLUSIVE– Donald J. Trump First Candidate to Reply to the ‘Sessions Test’
Breitbart News ^

Posted on 02/08/2016 3:50:45 PM PST by Hojczyk

Question 1: How would you vote (or how did you vote) on fast-track, and would you support or oppose advancing a final trade agreement which enters the United States into a new international commission with binding authority on future United States trade policy?

ANSWER: I was steadfastly opposed to giving Obama his Fast-Track powers, and would have absolutely voted against it. This is one of the strongest distinctions between me and the other candidates in this race. The Congress, apparently under the magical spell of donors, gave massive new powers to a President who has repeatedly abused his authority. The other candidates in this race actually fought on Obama’s side to give him more power to abuse.

As for creating a new international commission with authority over United States trade policy I am, again, steadfastly opposed. No foreign power should be given any control over the United States. Yet the other candidates who supported Fast Track allowed President Obama to do just that. It’s not too late to save our sovereignty: when I win the nomination, I will put America back in charge.

Question 2: If the vote on the Trans-Pacific Partnership were held today, and you had a vote to cast in Congress, would you vote for it or against it?

ANSWER: I have strongly and consistently opposed the TPP. For decades, I have warned about how our terrible trade deals are killing the middle class. We are getting taken to the cleaners. My message on trade has been consistent from the beginning, and if politicians had listened to me years ago we would have saved millions of jobs, rebuilt our crumbling infrastructure, and saved trillions of dollars.

My candidacy is the only way to stop this terrible deal that will send our manufacturing

Because Cruz blares to the world his Christian faith, every chance he gets. So, he has three choices.

Not answer and avoid all questions regarding Sessions.

Lie thru his teeth, thus committing a sin. And since he’s such a Christian he can’t show the evangelicals that side even though it’s on full display.

Tell the truth and let the world know he’s nothing more than an Establishment hack like the others.

And what he did with Carson at the debate showed true class. Something the WH has been missing for quite a while.

So, you are another who knows. Thank you, Aria.

Without eyes and ears we would still be “bots”.

That’s exactly what he’d do. Either that or shame him and the rest into doing what he wants.

The only time Ryan, et al, have ever had to deal with a guy like Trump is when they showed up with their hat in their hands, begging for money and getting treated like the bitches they are.

Trump, if he is serious about what wanting to bring this country back, will take the bully pulpit to a whole other level. And when things start happening and working, so many of those a$$clowns will be riding his coattails it’ll be disgusting to watch.

He won’t pay the UAW and the taxes in Detroit. He’ll build his plants in Georgia and Alabama and give the people in those areas great jobs and improve the quality of life in the whole area.

Head down to the KIA plant in West Point, Ga. It’s amazing. And a once downtrodden place is seeing new life. Or take a trip to the Montgomery area to see the Hyundai plant. Or how about the BMW plant in Greer, SC.

I would rather vote for someone who has facts, information, and reasoning ability than ideological purity.

What did he [Limbaugh] sell exactly, and what was the bargain?

His soul in exchange for keeping his fame and fortune. That's my guess, anyway.

Show me any rating by a conservative organization which gives him a low score.

Who's more conservative on trade, Cruz or Trump? Most conservative orgs are for open borders for goods and services.

The result? Forty years of falling real wages for the middle class and deindustrialization.

Trump is rewriting the conservative playbook, and it's about time.

Capital flows toward Return on Investment.

Not if there are capital controls. This idea that economic traitor companies built by Americans, nourished by the hard work and good character of American labor and only possible in a country with intellectual freedom and prosperity which are a legacy left in trust by our forefathers for US, the American people, should be permitted to just up and transfer all of that wealth and know-how to our economic enemies needs to be put to rest.

These globalist businessmen aren't heroes of liberty, they're disloyal traitors with no love for America or the Constitution.

They're as admirable as Alger Hiss and for the same reason.

did Rush sell out?

Yes Rush sold out to the NWO GOPe back when HW was president. When push comes to shove, you can bet Rush will side with the GOPe.

While I won't accuse Rush of selling out, I find he no longer speaks for me so I stopped listening to him, and delete his email show summaries without reading them.

There should be an unsubscribe link somewhere in those emails. Let Rush know he no longer speaks for you.
