A good reason to throw out the lowers, because they'll "always" support a tinpot dictator like Obama to take the lead in trade negotiations.
but somehow now Ted Cruz is the sole reason it passed
I bet you if Cruz had opposed it, instead of stabbing senators like Jeff Sessions in the back, it would not have passed so easily.
Cruz actually worked on the immigration language amendment with Session. Cruz acknowledge that after he examined further the concerns that Session had, that Sessions was correct. Rand Paul and another Senator blocked the Immigration language amendment that would have prevented so many of the problems with TPP.
