I know all that, of Ted’s credentials. He is special. He will make the cut is my bet also. But, his argument *for* this authority and the subsequent agreement that will come from it is simply untimely, imho, while we are still under this particular and foreign president.
Why does this trade fangle have to occur a year and a half early? It is too much for my faint heart. Obama is as trust worthy as Putin. (I take that back. As an insult to Putin.)
Fear causes a candidate a multitude of problems.
Also, if Obama and Congress can sit by and see a quarter of a million Christians and others beheaded, reportedly children crucified, and banished entirely from Iraq, what is the almighty rush for this trade thingy when Obama is on the ropes, but desperate to obtain?
I think we are trying to work through this, but Cruz has some work to do mending minds on the point of the strange TIMING of this thing, coming while Obama is still in office, or else he may need to represent his supporters and try to back away somehow. My 2 cents. .)
If it isn’t passed now, the Democrats would NEVER give it to a president Cruz, Walker or even Bush. That’s part of it. Remember, this guy only has 15 months left.
