Sir, do you understand the difference between the TPA and the TPP?
The TPA did nothing of the sort.
I completely understand the difference. My commentary in this thread shows that.
The TPA gave Obama the authority to commit us to the TPP as shown or even allows Obama to amend it as he sees fit.
The TPA that Cruz vote for removes the 66 votes needed for a treaty authorization or the 60 votes needed for cloture. It now only requires a simple 50 votes in the Senate!!!! Read it. That is what Cruz voted for. Cruz gave a power to Obama that most Presidents have never had.
Also, Cruz’s vote condones this secrecy over the TPP. He should have argued against it and condemned Obama’s secrecy.
If he wanted to be a real leader and show that he believes in his convictions he should release the details of the TPP that Obama is unconstitutionally keeping secret. That would impress me. Cruz has read it and the special room they are hiding it in.
I am not saying Cruz us evil. I am saying I don’t trust him and I have good reason not to.
We already have a guy that gives good speeches and interviews well. He is now in his 7th year of destroying this nation.
