Sen. Ted Cruz on the Hugh Hewitt Show, June 11, 2015.
For those interested in Sen. Cruz, this interview debunks recent MSM reports that he's conceding the 1st three primary states. He explains his positions on free trade, ISIS, Turkey, and defense.
Overall, this interview is very informative for those following Sen. Cruz.
Hugh Hewitt show? Be still my heart!
Bull Crap!
Nothing wrong with the Constitutional approach to passing trade agreements.
Hugh arouses you???? Huh, who would have thunk it? Is it a Chris Matthews tingle down the leg, type thing?? You don’t have to say- just curious.
Do you think both Cruz and Walker (who also supports it) just woke up Monday and decided to completely ditch their campaigns over this?
If they did, then we have a much bigger problem than trading with our Pacific friends than this, much bigger. Like collapse bigger.
How many agreements negotiated with fast track authority have ever been voted down by Congress? None.
How many agreements negotiated with fast track authority have been filibustered? None. Can’t because only requires majority vote rather than 60 in the Senate it would otherwise require.
I don’t know what they decided, and frankly I don’t care.
I won’t be voting for anyone who supports secret legislation.
It’s a big a deal killer as there has ever been.
“How many agreements negotiated with fast track authority have been filibustered? None. Can’t because only requires majority vote rather than 60 in the Senate it would otherwise require.”
So Cruz is selling us out!
You should care, as if both of them have completely abandoned their respective campaigns over this, as supporter feedback is clearly demonstrating, then we have much bigger near-term problems on our hands than the primaries and elections.
This is 3-alarm chili and rising. This ain’t normal.
Yes, Cruz is the only one “selling you out”. Posters earlier gave you answers. Cruz talks about it himself. You have an agenda. You don’t like this one issue, so you feign indignation. Tell us who you support and why. I’d like to know how your candidate is BETTER and more Conservative than Cruz...
I will be waiting.
Ok, so, WHO are you going to support then?
Sure. The POS Cruz surrendering the Senate’s 60-vote cloture right to Obama is a good thing?!!
Changing the law so no member of Congress can submit amendments to the TPP that Cruz is OK with Obama negotiating in secret??!!
Cruz is a liar and an absolute TRAITOR!! He cannot be believed or trusted.
When given the chance to lead a fight against secrecy and agreements that hurt our country or to be bought off, Ted Cruz chose to be bought off and betray us all.
He gives good speeches and then betrays you. Cruz is EXACTLY like Obama!!
I don’t have anyone to support.
Wish I did, but I don’t.
Doesn’t make any difference, we now live in Strangeland.
Eliminating one Traitor, Cruz, brings us all one step closer to finding our worthy candidate.
Nobody has to make their final decision just because they eliminated an untrustworthy person in Cruz.
Yeah, man, this ain’t normal. I agree with that wholeheartedly.
I don’t think they have abandoned their campaigns, but they have abandoned me. This type of secret passing of bills is not something I’m going to support.
I don’t want anything to do with this government now.
This is really not good.
LOL, cop out. So, you will vote Hillary then?
People like you disgust me. You have GOOD strong candidates on our side in this race. They aren’t perfect, but because you demand perfection, you will whine and then sit out the election.
You deserve what you get.
LOL...yes, Cruz is untrustworthy because of one vote. Nevermind his history as the MOST Conservative in DC.
Now, I suppose you think Walker is unworthy? Rubio?
How about Steve King? Duncan Hunter?
This one issue is a REALLY SERIOUS ISSUE.
It goes well beyond Cruz too, for me.
I am not going to live under a government that behaves this way.
Well, I hope you enjoy being disgusted then.
I’m disgusted too.
And no, I don’t deserve anything for refusing to support clandestine legislation or those engaged in making clandestine legislation law.
If that is something you support, then you deserve what you get.
