TPA isn’t the problem. TPP is. Once Cruz read TPP he did NOT support it. I don’t get what the problem is.
Trump likes to tout that he makes deals. So what, anyone can “make a deal.” Not all of Trump’s deals have been great. He went into Atlantic City in the 80s and nearly bankrupted himself. Was that a great deal? No it wasn’t. He was rescued by bankruptcy laws.
Are you telling me Trump is going to get us a great deal in bankruptcy? I might believe that.
Beyond that, I don’t really want a guy who will make deals with the democrats. That is what we’ve had for 100 years. It’s gotten us nowhere. I don’t see how anything changes. The only way to fundamentally change America is to shrink government and amend the Constitution to reign in the bureaucracy.
Which of Ted Cruz’s platform planks do you not like? He wants to shrink tax rates/the IRS, the DOE, the EPA, audit the Fed, defeat ISIS, etc. What is not to like? Beyond that, he would probably support a Constitutional Convention, which is what we really need beyond anything. I can’t say that for sure, because I don’t know that he’s ever been asked about it, but I know his former boss Greg Abbott is for it and has the ear of Cruz.
Anyways, I’m getting sidetracked.
“TPA isn’t the problem. TPP is. Once Cruz read TPP he did NOT support it. I don’t get what the problem is.”
TPA was a bill specifically designed for for passing TPP. At the time TPA was being debated, a representative could only read TPP under top secret protocols. But they could read it. So if Cruz did not go and study TPP, why on earth would he vote for a bill that put it on a fast-track for passage? The fact that it was an Obama initiative should have clued him in, like it did the rest of us who are not supposed to be as nearly as brilliant as he is.
Truth is, of course, he was/is for TPP.
