“.............The Hill reports that McConnell said that Obama would risk defeat of his TPP if he tried to get it passed prior to a lame-duck session after the 2016 election.
“It certainly shouldn’t come before the election,” McConnell said during an interview with the Washington Post. “I think the president would be making a big mistake to try to have that voted on during the election. There’s significant pushback all over the place.”
“Obama is already facing a slim margin of support in each chamber,” reports The Hill. “With minimal support from his own party, Republicans who granted Obama fast-track authority on trade deals have said support didn’t mean automatic passage for the TPP pact.”
“I think it would be a big mistake to send it up before the election,” stated McConnell.
[Americans for Limited Government President Rick] Manning argued that if McConnell is saying Obama can only get the TPP passed during a lame-duck session, that proves that the deal is essentially so bad that Congress wouldn’t be able to get it done before the election.”
