How many issues can a candidate be complete wrong on and still have support? You would have thought Amnesty and Gun Control would have been enough, but now we’ll see if TPP is the silver bullet.
Carson is so much like Obama he is in the wrong primary.
Dr. Ben, you are making a most critical error.
You’re probably holding this position because it’s popular with some of your largest donors. The rich donors more or less live in their own country: one without borders and without the right to act independantly. Look at the mess that the EU is dissolving into due to non-assimilation Muslim Dumping. Do you want that here, in the states too?
He's a vegan...so I bet he agrees with the climate hoax.
With Carson supporting TPP and amnesty, what’s different from Yeb! or Young Yeb!?
Carson should just hang a “FOR SALE” sign around his neck.
On the vote that put the Fast Track bill on Obama’s desk, Cruz voted “No”.
Sure, and he still supported it the first time when it came to voting.
How many times has Trump changed his mind on issues? Cruz gave his reason for his change in position and they were sound.
I don’t know all of Trump’s positions, nor do I support any candidate at the moment, they all have their own issues. I merely brought up the fact that Cruz supported and voted for TPA, then changed his tune later.
He changed his mind and voted against it because the immigration language that he and Sessions wanted wasn’t in the final bill, for one thing. That language would have prevented a lot of the problems in TPP right now, but Rand Paul and another Senator blocked it.
It was never gonna be put in the bill. He knew that back in April when he was talking about how great TPa was for Congress; they were in control and set the negotiations. Then he comes out later after voting for it the first time, that there weren't protections and such, then why the hell did you support it the first time.
On top of all this and his youthful violence- notice how glassy his eyes always are? I think he’s on something.
Cruz voted to bring it to the floor, wherefrom it would definitely pass.
There were far more thsn the 60 votes needed even without Cruz’s vote for cloture. Are you seriously saying that this was not going to be brought to the floor without Cruz?
Who can we thank for that? Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz working hand in hand to insure its passage, belittling conservatives as internet conspiracy kooks, and repeating GOPe talking points.
Cruz knew what he was doing, and just changed his mind at the last minute after fast track was guaranteed.
If Trump or any other Republican candidate were President, they would want Fast Track authority. Now they’ll have it without the Dems being able to block it. Cruz is for Free Trade. Over 5 million jobs in his state of Texas depend on it. He does not support the trade bills being negotiated by Obama because they cede our sovereignty to a panel of reps from all the foreign nations.
To say something that made so much sense was “never going to be” is like saying just give up on every sound principle because there is going to be opposition.
Republicans have always voted for Fast Track. Almost every President has had it for the last 80 years, but somehow now Ted Cruz is the sole reason it passed. Get real! I actually support TPA, but not TPP.
No modifications allowed.
Too much amnesty.
Bye bye Ben.
Granting more authority to a Pres is crazy, from any party and TPA does that. A Pres only has the power to negotiate treaties, TPA is no such thing. The fact that he would even support that principle is telling.
