“Ted Cruz WILL NOTE VOTE FOR A SECRET TPP Agreement.”
*****
Directly. A vote for fast track authority is a vote for TPP.
Why?
Congress rubber stamps agreements negotiated with fast track. No amendments. Simple majority in Senate. No ability to filibuster.
This means Cruz is either a moron (he’s not) or being deceptive (he is).

Hmmm...is this a case of "follow the money"? Perhaps. Cruz's wife is an investment banker for Goldman, Sachs & Co. Nothing wrong with that, of course. But it would be interesting to see if either of these things happen:
1. Goldman's contributions to the Cruz campaign spike.
2. Cruz's wife gets a major promotion/raise.
I suppose those are ugly questions. But they are fair game when someone is running for president. We all know what happens when a candidate is not properly vetted.
