[Yes, Cruz did vote for TPP.]
Absolutely wrong, and I can’t believe out of all the post on this thread people on the FreeRepublic still don’t know what the issue is here.
Cruz voted for the TPA which is fast track authority for the executive branch to negotiate treaties and have the Senate take them up in a time specified. TPA has been de-rigor for the executive going back to the Kennedy administration.
I did not support Cruz’s vote to give this administration fast track authority based on their track record and their behavior with keeping the details of the TPP under wraps. But to characterize Ted Cruz as supporting the TPP is flat out wrong and beneath the intelligence of the board.
TPP has not come to the floor yet and therefore no vote has been taken despite postings to the contrary. Cruz has already made statements in opposition to TPP.
They are two peas in a pod. Keep your eye on the pod....
There is no rush to do this before he is forced out of office. Should some other 'Rat or GOPeer win in 2016, they wouldn't deserve the continuing authority in the legislation either.
I’m a bit confused. If Cruz voted for TPA fast track authority, why would he not continue to support it now?
Correction. When the final vote came up on TPA, Cruz voted AGAINST it.
