Carson just hit it on the nail. Gays want extra rights. Something they never admit.
Yes and read this : this is treason by cruz against the American people

But, of course, nowhere is there a mention of the fact that a big part of that “disadvantage” is currency manipulation and other financial gimmicks — issues that are expressly kept out of the trade deal. I guess nobody told these gentlemen that the primary weapon being used against American workers and business is not going to be discussed. Had they been allowed to read and review the so-called deal — the Trans-Pacific Partnership — they might have known that. But sadly, the Obama administration has kept the “deal” under lock and key — virtually nobody has been allowed to view it.
But this is a minor matter compared to the bald-faced falsehoods that follow. The congressional odd couple assert that Congress will demand three things from Obama, three “requirements” that will protect the nation. In truth, all three are hollow shells; the tools of bait and switch that have used to con America in the past. And what are three shells of the con game?
First, it asserted that there will be 150 “specific negotiating objectives.” Sounds good, except these objectives are nothing more than suggestions. If Obama comes back with a treaty and none of these “objectives” are included, there is no effect. The treaty will still get the up-or-down vote. No amendments will be allowed to be offered. No two-thirds ratification vote in the Senate will occur. And of course, at that point, all the special interests — having been fed their fill — will demand passage. Are we to believe that Ryan and Cruz will vote against the treaty if the 150 “objectives” are not included? If that is the case, why do they not say so?
Second, it is asserted that the administration would be required to “consult” with Congress over the course of final negotiations. This is the “kissing your sister” argument — no meaning and slightly discomforting.
Finally, it is claimed that giving Obama more power will enhance the power of Congress and thereby the American people. This is simply a lie. Under the authority Ryan and Cruz want to give the administration, the powers given Congress under the Constitution are suspended. No amendments are allowed. U.S. law will be subjugated to a treaty that can be passed by a simple majority in the two houses. Hollywood and Wall Street will get what they want and the American taxpayers will be given the bill. So, gentlemen, how are the American people protected by suspending the Constitution? Is this the 2016 GOP platform — gather votes signing praises of the Constitution while moving to undercut and suspend it at will?
What is most troubling, however, is the disdain the advocates of this deal have for the American people. They babble on and on about abstract economic “benefits” when, in fact, trade is but a minor part of the matter. No less an authority than The Washington Post stated in an April 13 editorial that the treaty and fast track are “about geopolitics as well as economics.”
He's out of his element and overwhelmed.
he has to go
That’s not the point. The point is that Cruz went out of his way to endorse and advocate for Roberts:
Cruz went on to call Roberts “one of the very best advocates ever,” who exemplified “how to try to carry out our craft with the highest level of skill and integrity.”
In that same message, dated Sept. 13, 2005, Cruz called Roberts “the best Supreme Court litigator in the nation.”
Just another prepared politician who when he starts speaking sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher.... wah wah wah wah
You mean worse than McCain, Romney, Dole, W, GHW, Carter, and LBJ?? Say it ain’t so!!!!!!!!!!
OMG, Kasich is truly a moron.
Figures for Ohio. It gave us Boehner too. What a useless state now.
Oh, and I hate OSU too! Go HOGS! lol
Trump is not going to say how because it would enable the Mexican Government to attempt to stop it.
Come on, Trump is not going to put all his cards on the table. The Mexican government is a corrupt government. The ex Presidents comment today was an attempt for Trump to detail how Mexico will pay for it. Mexico will pay for it by simply being able to do business with the United States. How about if we charge Mexico room and board for all the Mexican citizens that Mexico encouraged to village United States laws? However they are going to pay for it, Trump IS NOT going to tell them ahead of time. How dense.
If it was me... the next time Trumpy said Regan changed too... I’d tell Trumpy to go get elected as a governor like Regan did... and get a record of being conservative... but he may be to old to do that and still be president someday.
Why does Cruz fell the need to attack Trump? It is a bad strategy. He sounds better when he sticks to big ideas and Constitutional principles. Leave the gutter fighting alone.
Trump down for the count! The polish workers cheer!
Planned Parenthood has helped many women........ maintain their childless sexually promiscuous lifestyle they have become accostomed to...
I agree. Blackmail.
EVERYONE supported Justice Roberts back in the day. Even you.
Did EVERYONE cite liberals like Larry Tribe to support Roberts? No. Did Ted Cruz? Yes. Would POTUS Cruz consult liberal Larry Tribe again? Unfortunately, we don’t know the answer to that question.
Ben Carson says correct what the Supreme Ct has done. Good for him instead of just accepting same sex marriage.
wow, I need to let my grand daughters know that their granny “lives for the moment”...
-— I love watching Trump get flustered.
It’s a thing of beauty.——
Rubio really threw him off. Trump has completely fallen apart. It’s even worse than his last debate. And man, he so deserves having the tables turned on him.
And you lie (or are perhaps mistaken). Just like the one you follow. I said I would not vote for Cruz because of the voter violation letter. Check it out. You can see my posting history.
Setting them up to attack Trump question after question.
Rubio talks fast and is annoying.
Cruz landed some punches.
Kasich karate chopped the air.
Carson going to sleep. I swear he has Asburgers.
