Consider this a free seminar on the intricacies of enacting a trade deal in Congress.
Only last week the media was all atwitter about Cruz jumping the Conservative ship, and voting to support (parts of) Obamas pacific trade pact. This is complicated stuff, and not very sexy. You simply cant explain it with a sound bite. But listen to this twenty-minute radio interview with Cruz as he brilliantly breaks down his position and in the process teaches us a lot about foreign trade, the Congressional process, and himself.
People who question Ted Cruzs electability are missing the point. The question isnt whether or not he can win, but what happens to us if he doesnt.

Oh please. Please. Not likely, but we can hope!
Oh how I would love to see that.
I’d like to see term limits too but it will never happen for the obvious reasons.
His height is no problem. But I agree, he’d.be fantastic on the Supreme Court.
For some reason, he’s not catching on. Possibly because he’s too lawyerly - but that’s a plus. He could also be AG..
People don’t realize that if they vote for the GOP candidate, miserable though he may be, they get access to much better people for all the the positions. We’ve got to think strategically.
You can read the first chapter of Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments at Amazon.
I summarize them here.
You'll notice that Levin would super-federalize Washington DC far beyond anything the Framers ever remotely considered.
I would also add that under our constitution, which acts on both the people and the states, it makes as much sense to remove the states from the law making process as it would to remove the people, . . . no sense at all.
Pinging you to my comment on your commrnt, but I had misspelled your screen name..,
We need a voice for all.
“Those who proclaimed outrage (Perry, Carly, Huckabee) havent read the documents”
1. Those who proclaim it is our salvation have not read it either.
2. TPA is not secret. The implementation bills are TOP SECRET. Some are more secret than TPP.
3. Connect the dots: Obama is drooling to pass this bill (it curtails his power, proponents would have us believe, if you can believe that). TPA was an innovation that came out in 1974. Since the implementation of the thick free trade agreements, the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy has been gutted. Proponents say that all we need to do to rectify that is to add on MORE free trade agreements that have been negotiated by that champion of America, who wields a MIGHTY pen and phone, BARACK OBAMA.
4. Why should Obama be trusted?
“He provided a clinic on TPA, trade agreements, and the legislative process.”
That has nothing to do with him supporting Obama’s current pet thrill - the trade bill, nothing to do with supporting Obama’s Iranian nulear armament/ICBM bill, nothing to do with him wanting to increase H-IB visas five fold, and nothing to do with him wanting to increase legal immigration and grant legal status to illegal immigrants.
Fwiw Mike
Your attitude is not helping your cause......
Stupidity was not a problem for the current occupant, and now being smart is?
Good one!
Waffles Walker is for TPA.
President Cruz might MIGHT consider him for Commerce
Exactly!
Cruz would be a great AG. I don’t know why he’s not picking up more support as a presidential candidate.
And it’s not the GOP-e, it’s simply that somehow he doesn’t “resonate,’ I guess one could say. I like most of his positions and would vote for him, but I think he has very little chance of making it.
But we MUST get a GOPer into the WH, even a less than good one, or we won’t have even a chance of getting good people under him in various posts (Cruz as AG, Carson as Surgeon General, etc.).
A friend and I are making a list of how we would like to see the candidates serve other then president. We’d like to see them run as a team. Each supporting the others and being willing to work in an area of expertise.
For example. Sarah has experience dealing with the energy companies and the corrupt politician involved with them. So have her deal with it as the national level
Ben understands the medical needs.
West has the military background
Each to his/her expertise
Expect to see justice Kennedy to step down from the bench once Obama is out of office.
BTTT! :):):)
And watch Liberal heads explode like fireworks at a Chinese new years celebration!
A few ways to help American manufacturing is lower costs of production as in energy cost.
Lower taxes.
Decrease oppressive regulations.
Open up new markets for American products overseas.
Open up more states to right to work states and drive a stake into the heart of unions.
I think Ben Carson would make a great secretary of education as long as we have a department of education.
