Ted Cruz was on with Jeff Kuhner this morning and answered some tough questions about why he supports the TPA/TPP agreements. One of the questions was specifically about what Jeff Sessions has been saying about the trade deal and Cruz blatantly said that what Sessions has been saying is not accurate. In short, he said that the US is not ceding any sovereignty to any transnational commission, that it has no power to bind the US with any law or agreement.
The interview is 24 minutes long and I urge you to listen to the whole thing. But if you want to skip ahead to the Q&A about Jeff Sessions take on this, it begins around 16:10.

I will never have to vote for him. He is finished.
Thanks for your work, H!
Ranting? Where?
Why post to me .
You made a claim about currencies.
Since you have so much knowledge about future currency exchange rates and everything (in your mind) why not go become a billionaire instead of posting here?
Since I'm not an expert in future Commie government actions, I'll post here.
Oh that’s right it’s all delusions of grandeur so go back to your mother’s basement
Sounds like you're projecting.
Kinda funny, ........... he’s for it. He was for TPA before he was against it.

If he had come out earlier against TPA, it might would have railroaded it. He changed his vote (knowing it could still pass without him) to effectively fight against it.
I am done with Cruz.
Cruz has no idea about anything. He’s just a newer Jeb!
I will never have to vote for him. He is finished.
Agree. Cruz doesn’t have the charisma to win. Some folks may not like that but it’s the truth. The GOPe, the media, and democrats hope he defeats Trump but we know they will not support Cruz in November.

That was a brutal month when Cruz’s staff was pounding us with pro-TPA half truth filled talking points. Then to top it off at the end he switched his vote! LOL.
“Ted Cruz is an economic MORON.”
According to Rush Limbaugh, Cruz is, basically, the second coming of Ronald Reagan. Limbaugh has never even THOUGHT a criticism of Cruz, much less spoken one. What Limbaugh says about Cruz comes close to what you would say about a divine being.
Ted Cruz has gone to the dark side.
He’s a globalist.
That was his starting point.
He did a darn good job hiding it.
At the start of this last year at this time, he looked like the best option for conservative patriots.
My what a difference a year can make.
I listened to his press statement. It was horrifying to hear him use talking points from Rachel Maddow and the leftist media. He did. It was disgusting.
He simply stated the truth, in that the the Trump campaign and trump himself share some responsibility for the beginning and the aftermath of that canceled event. In that trump exposed his supporters to a dangerous situation by having the rally there in the first place.
How does Trump share any responsibility for a one two punch of violent protesters organized to disrupt his rally? This was long planned by moveon.org and #blacklivesmatter. It called on LaRaza and every other violent protester to come in to Chicago. It will be a staple of the left's plan to win the election. It would have been done against Cruz himself if he had the capacity to have been in first place. It was shameful for him, or anyone else to blame Trump for these so called protesters.
Frankly, Cruz was showing desperation, likely getting bad advice from his (very bad) campaign advisers. I think he just lost the nomination, lost any chance of being part of a Trump administration, and will have a hard time keeping his seat in Texas when it comes up.
For what? Very bad judgment on his part. He could have come out swinging against the violent left, swinging against those who would destroy free speech, those who would thuggishly prevent someone else from presenting a viewpoint.
He blew it, just simply lost a lot of credibility.
Trump just criticized Cruz on this in his rally in Kansas City, MO....................
Yep and he needs to label Cruz with this
Then why is he back peddling on hannity? You guys are so blinded that you refuse to even criticize Cruz even when he says he was wrong. Goodness. You know he screwed up...well at least Cruz does.
Dates make it all clear.
June 12, 2015 and prior. Ted supports TPA and TPP. co-authors pro TPP WSJ article with globalist Paul Ryan. And Ted had little to say about immigration during his March announcement of his candidacy and during the next three months.
June 16, 2015. Donald Trump announcing candidacy for the presidency. His criticism of past immigration policy and failure to enforce the law, and his criticism of one-sided trade agreements puts those two issue more in play than ever before in a presidential campaign.
And after the Trump announcement, old Ted begins singing a different tune on immigration and trade policy. He even changes his vote on the second 60 vote hurdle for TPA. And he’s been changing his tune ever since.
Nope, no power at all, unless governments and bereaucrats defer to it. And they will. Next thing you know, your country is de facto ceding sovereignty to a transnational commission, just like was done in some other famously destructive "trade agreements".
The result is a trickle down of more power and influence over Americans from some entity that is not American government...
[ In short, he said that the US is not ceding any sovereignty to any transnational commission, that it has no power to bind the US with any law or agreement. ]
This may be true but it won’t stop a circuit court or even a liberal supreme court from interpreting it the OTHER way.
Why even give them the CHANCE????
He will never defeat Trump. If he did ,we would lose every state. With Trump WE WIN!!
I don’t watch cable tv.
I don’t even like Hannity, he’s a lightweight political hack.
If Cruz is trying to mitigate this idiotic reaction to the truth of what he said, then he’s wasting his time. He’s trying to explain sanity to a can full of nuts.
I will either vote for Cruz in the general or I will stay home. I will not vote for a POS.
That’s that.....and this nation will once again live with it’s choice of path. It’s taking the left fork in the road again, and I will not contribute to that.
Have a nice life....Mine is already charted regardless of what happens in November..I wrote this turkey off in 2012 so preparations are well underway and no further stupidity from the American public will in anyway affect me or mine.
Well that’s fine. I look differently on Cruz. I see him as someone who is sneaky. He’ll do anything if he can get away with it. I also think the anything to win is dangerous. I feel the same as you and would never vote for Cruz in the general. He’s our weakest candidate of the 17 that ran. Trump is easily our strongest and one who won’t apologize...a berth of fresh air. So we’ll find out how things go. I am just happy to have a say in politics now after moving to Florida from Maryland. It’s exciting to know my vote counts more in Florida. I vote trump Tuesday. Haven’t been this happy for a candidate ever!!!!! Too young for Reagan.
Yes, that is a problem.
You see, you don't know and you will not take advice or counsel.
You don't know what Trump is and you don't know what he should be, so how is it that you can make a rational decision?
The answer is.....you can't.
