Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., charged the Obama administration with quietly signing the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement in New Zealand, and said the White House tried to minimize it because it knows the public isn't pleased with the deal.

Let me see. Who was it who voted for TPA, the bill that made TPP possible?
I’m trying to think of the guy.
Anyone out there remember?

And now thanks to Cruz it will only take 50 votes to get it through the Senate instead of 60. Thanks Ted!

"Voting for fast track gave Obama the ability to negotiate trade agreements that can only be approved or rejected by Congress, but not amended. The provision is meant to facilitate international negotiations, but conservatives and even many Democrats fear the process leads to agreements that Congress isn't allowed to fix."
Can't wait until Mullah Obama is out of office.

I didn't read about it in a front page story in my local newspaper, nor was it the lead story on the nightly network TV news.
The MSM was strangely silent again.

Anyone out there remember?DoughtyOne, that's a real hard question. hmmmmmmm.....can you help me by answering these questions? Is he the same guy who's using the "Save Cochran Guide Book" written by the GOP elite to run his campaign? Is he a "real smart lawyer" who made mistakes about reporting loans he received? Is he going to stop the invasion of the US by handing out H1B visas like candy, at least until a little while ago?
Whatta guy

If the gov’t estimates are we lose 450K jobs to this trade deal, then reality is we’ll lose over 1.5 million.
Would you like fries with that?

Cruz helped Ryan roll it out, lobbied for it, lied for it, voted for it, and when his vote was no longer needed, he voted against it.
TPP will effectively end our sovereignty.
Cruz supporters even claim this man is a patriotic conservative. He is owned by Goldman-Sachs, the group that Limbaugh rails against, the group that evidently controls Limbaugh also.

Was Ted the ONLY Senator to vote in favor of TPA? Weren’t there many of the GOP who voted for it? Why blame him alone for passage? Why not blame Rubio who also voted for it? Or Sasse or Murkowski or Perdue or any number of GOP senators? So what, they’re not running for president. Big deal. They’re just as culpable. Blame all 62 of them for it.
