So you think Donald Trump’s demagoguery on immigration has created problems for the other GOP candidates? Well, another very ripe opportunity for Trump to make his GOP rivals even more miserable may be lurking right around the corner, and it could expose the same sort of schism between GOP elites and GOP voters that Trump’s forays into immigration policy have. I’m talking about the massive global trade deal called the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Some time in the next six months — in late 2015 or in early 2016 — the participating nations may finally reach a deal on the TPP. That may well come just when the GOP primaries are heating up. Virtually all of the major GOP presidential candidates, including Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), all support the TPP, as do Republican Congressional leaders. But, in a little noticed move a few days ago, Trump signaled that he might be headed in a very different direction on the TPP soon enough. After his terrific and wonderful rally outside the Capitol the other day, Trump met with Senator Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), and both men enthusiastically recounted that they had had a good conversation about immigration and …. trade. Said Trump: “The meeting was great!” Sessions is a leading opponent of the TPP. He has warned that the TPP could harm American workers and allow China to join the deal later without the approval of the U.S. Congress; he has also said that it won’t do anything to counter Chinese currency manipulation and could facilitate the flow of “foreign workers” into the United States.

“wives can and do influence their husbands.”
YES THEY DO!!!!!
Cruz seems nice but I don’t trust him either! Sorry, but he may sell our country out. Rubio too!
I believe I read somewhere that his wife, Heidi, said that Ted thinks he’s always right about things. Not sure of the quote, but something similar. Maybe that’s what I see in Ted - yes, Trump is a braggart and not very humble. Ted tries to act humble, but I see just as much ego in him as I do Trump - he believes he has all the answers and is the smartest guy ever. He might be in some ways, but, he sure screwed up on the Corker bill and wouldn’t listen to his aides about Mcconnell or Sessions. He’s still my pick for VP or AG.
Open borders and idiotic free trade policies go hand in hand. We export jobs and industry while importing more illiterate uneducated third world peasants....
......Jobs out||||||| Illiterate third worlders in
A more destructive economic policy could not be concocted.
This is why we need the Federal Reserve bank continually goosing the housing and stock markets with a flood of fiat money to give the illusion of real prosperity. The Federale Government borrowing (then spending) trillions from China, Japan, the Federal Reserve bank is essential to keep the economy somewhat bubbling
Yes that's quite interesting.
In March of 2013, Woodforest National Bank and Western Union reached a deal to provide money transferring services globally at Woodforest National Bank Locations
Trump, on the other hand, doesn't carry any water for anyone except himself, he is answering what we want him to answer, and he's showing us what he is made of...
And all the little nay sayers are saying: Trump is going down.
LMAO...Trump is so smart, you just shake your head and wonder what the hell just happened!!!
He essentially said he was fooled (lied to), but at the time I think he was tacking back to get closer to the fleet.
Cruz has to tow the line for his corporate paymasters. His trade and immigration policies reflect it.

Most interesting. I think his wife have direct connections to Goldman Sachs.
Ted Cruz surprisingly had a very large donor in the 30 million dollar range. Donating to a Ted Cruz super pac. My opinion is this donor had certain demands and TPP was one of them....

Hmmm, I guess there is no perfect candidate after all, I’m shocked.
Who best represents you? </rhet>
Heidi is a VP on hiatus.
especially when they make a lot more money than you.
If only Trump would stake out some conservative positions.
I still like Cruz, but his position on TPP gives me pause.
she worked there. very bad evil bunch. no way am i voting for anyone connected to those crooks.
Not sure yet. I like both Cruz and Trump. But unlike many others, I’m sitting back to watch it all unfold. Time tells everything, we have much left to go
Hedge-Fund Magnate Robert Mercer Emerges as a Generous Backer of Cruz
Although I support Cruz, I have trouble buying his explanation and think that he actually had some sort of deal with certain campaign donors to support TPA/TPP alongside Ryan, but then something happened behind the scenes and he suddenly reversed himself.
