I’m solely against TPA because why does Obama deserve a FTA as an achievement?

Screw him and his legacy building. Let it drag out until 2017.

The TPA runs for 6 years which will include the first term of the Ted Cruz Presidency. Could we pass a TPA in 2017? Maybe. Maybe not. Better to do it now and get it out of the way.

And following that just vote NO on the Obama Trade Bill.

That’s the Cruz strategy. It’s seem to be a bit too much for people to absorb. It turn out to be a lot easier if you take the time to read past the Headlines.

Trust me, Cruz has definetly not gone over to the Obama Camp. He knows exactly what he is doing.

You need to come up to speed on the political nuts and bolts, otherwise you’re just old dog howling at the moon.

The politics in 2017 are that 60 votes in the Senate will be needed for cloture for a fresh vote on TPA. There’s a snowball’s chance in Hell the Senate democrats will in 2017 give President Cruz enough votes to reach 60.

That’s why it’s now or never for TPA.

TPA is not the problem. Barack Obama is.

President Cruz with TPA is GOOD for America but he won’t get it in 2017 because of democrats.

President Hillary with TPA is BAD for America and she may get it with McConnell as Senate Majority Leader.
