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.
Big $$$ donors want it, so pols running for lowest office of the land want it.
Cruz has not decided how he will stand on TPP until the language is clear and known....
Patience.. there’s a big-picture explanation coming.
It seems like a really strange incredibly perplexing miscalculation.
I can’t figure it out for the life of me.
One thing I have learned with the GOP is actions speak louder than words. Don’t tell me one thing then go do the other.
And above all do not support secret legislation and be among those telling me you will find out what’s in it when we pass it.
Screw that.
That’s cool, that’s cool.
I am trying to not blow a gasket and understand what is going on. I’m not the smartest guy in the world to be sure.
I really cannot deal with secret legislation though.
Not from these people.
They do not have my trust, not even a little bit.
I don’t even want them watching Saturday morning cartoons and telling me what’s in them.
I am working on a real serious disconnect here, and it is entirely their fault.
....”Cruz is a TRAITOR... EXACTLY like Obama!!....
Everyone knows that’s not the case....you guys would be further ahead and toning your fears down a tad....
Changing the laws...heck even bypassing has been done time and again...where have you been? Have you not seen Congress and the President step over even the Constitution these past years?
Nobody’s surrendering anything as you haven’t seen TPP to make that assumption. And a lot of people are making assumptions because we haven’t seen it yet.
As for secrecy....do you know how many trade agreements are done every year people don’t know about? Tell me the last trade agreement you witnessed a deal of....please.
Cruz is not a conservative, this makes that much clear. He took our donations and kneeled before Obama.
95% of his base have said “I’m not supporting Cruz any more” because of the TPA deal.
We don’t even know whats in this monster, we will never know.
Unfortunately there are some thick skulls posting on FR that say Ted Cruz is ‘selling out’, ‘betrayng’ his supporters. They have no idea of just how wrong they are. They will know in a few weeks and then they will hide under the rocks they crawled out from.
And then there are numerous paid trolls and leftist hacks posing as conservatives who egg on these thick skulls.
I am not worried. It will all be over very soon and Ted Cruz will continue to climb in the polls because everywhere he goes he creates a sensation and gains critical support. He has been on a whirlwind tour meeting and speaking to the grassroots. And these grassroots people are not falling victim to the troll campaigns nor are they susceptible to doubting Ted Cruz because they have met the real man and know he speaks the truth.
Ted tells people that they should not trust what any politician says they believe including him. He says to the grassroots they should demand “DON’T TELL ME! SHOW ME!”.
Ted quotes scripture to them:
“YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS”.
Everyone needs to understand the propaganda going on regarding this agreement....we STILL don’t know what’s in the thing yet we’re all getting our pants in a knot based on what? Show me something tangible that says what this is about...and by that I mean what has yet to be made known.
The thing is this whole you can’t talk about it, you have to go in this secret room and you can’t take pictures of it or bring anyone or tell anyone what’s in it is COMPLETE HORSESH!T.
I am not going to tolerate my government behaving in this manner at all.
Huh????? Cruz whole heartedly supports TPP.
Cruz voted Yeah for the Senate bill.
What exactly are you talking about??
So Cruz is selling us out!
++++
You should have listened to the interview. Actually you still can.
Well, if he supports this monster, he is done and will lose all the support he has.
Fair to say 'who' is feeding the Freeper frenzy over Cruz.....along with those on other sites and the media.... Would love nothing better than to not face debates against any one other than Bush.
I am not a leftist hack or a paid troll.
I have supported Cruz for sometime now.
I can’t abide secret legislation. Not at all. That is a non-starter.
I’m not going to play that game, and I’m not going to play with anyone who is playing that game.
If that is the way our government is going to run, then it isn’t going to have my consent.
I really don’t know how to make myself any clearer on the matter.
Chris, are you aware that what’s now in the “secret room”, will, by law, be made public for a period of 60 days before the Senate can vote on it? Just asking.
I am not going to try to convince you of anything, but here are a couple things for you to listen to.

They will know in a few weeks
I completely feel the same rage and disappointment on the surface but there’s a 3-D game of chess being played over this that needs more time before it can be documented then revealed. Hold the faith.
I have heard something along these lines, and I will tell you that I am not exactly 100% clear on this.
But I will also say that my government does not have my trust. I do not trust the way this is being done, in fact it makes me sick.
Why can’t I know what’s in it right now?
Well, yes you are unless you move out of the country. Where are you going to go?
