The saddest part of this whole episode is how easily conservatives are manipulated and led like sheep. Just look at who populates these threads. Among the regular Freeps are the RINO troll army. They consist if the n00bs who "used to support Cruz" and the primary season Freeps who may have been here for years but only show up for primary season to raise "concerns" about conservatives.
It is interesting how quickly this infighting starts when the Romney people start joining the campaigns. Honestly, if conservatives are dumb enough to continue falling for this crap election after election, we really do deserve a Bush/Clinton race.
As far as the candidates/potential candidates are concerned, I haven't looked at them all but so far Perry, Walker and Jindal have all supported TPP or equivelent treaties. Rubio voted for it.
Amid Secrecy, Rick Perry Retracts Obamatrade Support: I Would Rather Barack Obama Not Be Negotiating for Me
In May a spokesman for Perry told Breitbart News that he supports the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)one of three largely secretive trade deals that would be fast-tracked by Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). But hes changed his position.
TPP Proponents Close to Clinton Remain Optimistic About Her Support
Scott Walker had this to say.
Well, I talked about TTIP the other day in Germany in Hanover at the industrial fair there, and I think fair and open trade is a good thing on either side of the continent for the United States, whether its on the Atlantic or the Pacific. Obvious the details need to be worked out and theres a lot of details including some specific to my state that need to be worked out. But I think in the end, having a deal thats fair and offers fair and open trade would be a good thing for the United States and for our trading partners.
Bobby Jindal talks economic development, TPP with Taiwanese President Ma Ying-Jeou
While the negotiations were discussed, Plotkin said Jindal will take a position on the agreement when final terms are agreed to: "We are optimistic and hopeful about expanded trade with this part of the world. So we are hopeful about the TPP.
For those who are OK with trashing Cruz to protect your candidate, Just remember, those Romney people on the campaign WILL eat your candidate before they're done and despite any fantasies to the contrary, you won't be able to stop it.
And finally Ted Cruz in his own words. (Starting at 52 minutes)

They tried to destroy Sarah Palin before she even decided to run. They stalked Newt every where he gave a speech to feed an immediate onsite attack to the media.

Cruz was my only candidate of choice. Was. Now I guess I’m screwed. Just because some of us have the capacity and the inclination to think for OURSELVES doesn’t make us “trolls.” Its very childish for some of you to throw a verbal temper tantrum when someone doesn’t agree with you.

I am not a primary Freeper. I supported Cruz and almost gave him money (I’m glad I didn’t). He voted for this because he’s a corporatist. If conservatives are “falling for” something, it’s that Cruz is one of us. He’s as much a con-man as Rubio.
