Same type of response that many Cruz supporters offer as to why votes went the way they did.
There’s only one clear reason I can see that TPA should die now, and that’s because of Boehner’s behavior and duplicity. But I can also see Cruz’ logic and reasoning but Ted will have to find a different way to represent his constituents who are pushing for TPA so that they can export their products and services.
I will bet in a major way that Senator Jeff would be all in for TPA if it was for President Cruz. So TPA is not the culprit but killing TPA pretty much kills TPP, TTIP, TISA etc. so Senator Jeff is really after killing those trade deals. Passing TPA does not mean automatically that the trade deals will pass. But there is risk when you have such corrupt people as Boehner carrying water for special interests.

And Obama dishonest, unconstitutional actions on executive amnesty, obamacare, IRS, F&F, etc., etc.? How do you feel about the kenyan’s “behavior and duplicity” there? As bad as Boehner is, he’s no rampaging Marxist intend on destroying this great country. Barack Obama is.
After all we’ve been through with Obama, why should any conservative choose to enable Obama’s trade “agreements” by lowering the votes required for passage and neutering Congress’s Constitutional role? It’s totally nuts to give him more power now.
Congress should be demanding the full, finalized text of any Obama trade “agreements” before voting on fast track. With Obama in the WH, this whole process needs maximum sunshine, period.
From the minimal information released to us peons, it appears that these agreements are mainly about two things: crony capitalism, and totalitarian social engineering. A few tariff reductions are the Trojan horse that gets the main things through.
Passing TPA does not mean automatically that the trade deals will pass.
My understanding is that as a practical matter passing TPA means exactly that: the supposedly yet-to-be negotiated deals will pass.
