It is my understanding that TPA allows trade agreements to be approved on a 51 vote basis rather than a 60, and no amendments allowed. Given who who we have as president I have absolute faith that trade agreements will be against the interests of our country. Given who we have in the Senate I have absolute faith they can muster 51 to give Obama what he wants.

Cruz is still my candidate but I think he is wrong to believe that TPA will do more good than harm. Apparently I am more cynical about his peers than he, but I think I am right.

I am about exactly in the same place. Cruz is my candidate but don’t know [yet] why he would allow himself to be caught appearing to be OK giving 0bama this power.

TPA has been around since at least 1974 and it has never allowed amendments.

You are being played.
