I like Cruz but I trust Sessions.

I heard not heard one word fro Cruz demanding this secret bill be made public.

And that is a no no for me.

I like Cruz but I trust Sessions

Let's see, Cruz regularly is 95+ on all conservative rating agencies and Sessions is around 82.

Cruz has ALWAYS led in conservative fights, Sessions is very, very respectable, but no where near Cruz in this area.

Cruz has ALWAYS been unafraid to jump in against GOP Leadership, Sessions, once again, is very, very respectable, but again, no where near Cruz, in this area as well.

Finally, where it really counts, Cruz MEMORIZED the constitution when he was 13, and has won 13 Supreme Court cases, ALL Of them conservative in nature.

Between Sessions and Cruz, with regards to TRUST, I'll take Ted Cruz Every Single Time!

I heard not heard one word fro Cruz demanding this secret bill be made public.

And that is a no no for me.

Then you needed to pay closer attention, there have been at least 2 articles posted where Senator Cruz has stated that very thing.

I heard not heard one word fro Cruz demanding this secret bill be made public.

From the audio of Ted Cruz's interview (WRKO Town Hall with Ted Cruz, May 30, 2015, Hour 2), for TPA, the legislation has been 6 years in making. President should have an authority to negotiate the trade deal until it is finalized, then send the bill to the Congress for up-or-down vote with no amendment. (Otherwise, President has to go back and re-negotiate. How long will it take to get it done? That's why it is called “Fast Track”)

In response to people who are afraid that he voted to give more power to Obama, he said that he didn't trust Obama at all. Obama won't be in the office in 19 months. He looked into the future for the next president to have an authority to negotiate. Hopefully, the next president will be a Republican, especially him. Now is the time to get it passed with Democrats. If we wait for the next administration (Republican), Democrats in Congress will vote it down no matter what.

For TPP, he said it was stupid to have the text classified. He READ the TPP. It was relatively a straightforward trade agreement. He didn’t have weeks to study each paragraph closely. Unfortunately, from the past history of the administration’s abuse of power, the secrecy gives the impression that they are hiding something horrible in the bill. Fortunately, under TPA they have to make any trade agreement, including TPP, public for 60 days before the Congress can vote on it. People can study closely at this time. But personally he wanted the text public right now.

You trust a person who is Anti-Trade (Sessions) on being honest about a trade deal?

And if you haven't one word from Cruz demanding this secret bill be made public, then you haven't been listening, Sen. Ted Cruz Discusses TPA & TPP on the Kuhner Report because he most certainly does.
