“You are SO obvious.”

Isn’t really a response, thought process, or address to facts that an intelligent person would offer.

I guess if you had any real facts or intelligent thouhts to offer you would, but since the inexplicable acts of your Idol have dug you so deep, you just have pathetic and childish remarks left.

If you have a real response that explains why Cruz would be fine with empowering Obama while also taking power away from Congress, condoning secrecy and threats by Obama against members of Congress, and also being fine with this process that is going to raise taxes on small businesses, then please offer it. Otherwise you are just admitting that Cruz has been very wrong in all of this over and over again.

And for the record, I am not a Rand Paul supporter. He has some excellent points on domesestic policy, but having spent many years deployed to different regions, I can tell you Rand’s foreign policy sounds good to me, but they would never work in the real world. No offense meant to Paul supporters.

He has been extremely obvious. He opposes TPA and TPP.

Excerpts from the Daily Signal (Heritage Foundation), as posted by Bryan Riley:

(Bryan Riley is a full-time advocate for free trade through his research and writing for The Heritage Foundation. He brings years of experience in trade and economic issues to his role as Jay Van Andel senior analyst in trade policy.)

“There are also non-trade-related parts of the bill that should alarm conservatives. It urges respect for “internationally recognized human rights,” which for the United Nations and most countries includes international covenants like the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, neither of which has been ratified by the United States.

Even more concerning, passage of TPA has been linked to a Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program that promotes the myth that trade destroys jobs. As Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., put it “TAA has always been an absolute admission to me that there is going to be lots of lost jobs.” ...

... Although TPA allows Congress to spell out negotiating objectives, the amount of leeway it gives the president means that who the president is matters. And a president who has pledged to negotiate “the most progressive trade deal the world has ever seen” is clearly interested in ensuring that new deals advance major parts of his progressive agenda, including new multinational labor and environmental regulations and the injection of minimum wage guidelines into trade agreements for the first time in U.S. history.

Some of TPA’s most outspoken opponents, particularly from the left, rely on protectionist rhetoric, but it is possible to question the TPA process without questioning the benefits of trade.”
