The Trans-Pacific Partnership is dead, Schumer tells labor leaders
The Washington Post ^ | November 10, 2016 | Mike DeBonis, Ed O'Keefe and Ana Swanson

Posted on 11/10/2016 3:18:43 PM PST by bobsunshine

The Senate’s soon-to-be top Democrat told labor leaders Thursday that the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade deal at the center of President Obama’s “pivot” to strengthen ties with key Asian allies, will not be ratified by Congress.

That remark from Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is expected to be the incoming Senate minority leader, came as good news to the AFL-CIO Executive Council, which met Thursday in Washington. Schumer relayed statements that Republican congressional leaders had made to him, according to an aide who confirmed the remarks.

Obama’s signature global trade deal had been on life support for months as both Democrats and Republicans campaigned against unfair trade policies ahead of the Nov. 8 election. And Donald Trump’s triumph in the presidential race cemented its fate.

A lot more things than this are going to be dead in short order.

You know folks, it won't matter who voted for him or not.

Over the next four years, Trump will improve the life of every American.

[ Trump not even in office yet and already TPP Dead. They see the writing on the wall. ]

Awww, a CFR life member wanted TPP to pass. Even got his article posted here on FR. Even said "The Obama White House has rightly called completion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal the lynchpin of America’s Pivot to Asia,".

I know we can certainly trust anything The Obama White House tells us. After all, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. The average household will save $2500 a year on health insurance premiums.

I was going to post this comment to my daughters FB friends that were wailing and moaning. (Bernbots)

“That’s OK...Trump will just go ahead and make things better for you without you.”

Does this mean Heidi Cruz won’t be doing anymore papers for the Council on Foreign Relations pushing a North American “Community” (UNION) to satisfy the globalist Goldman Sachs efforts along with the Chamber of Commerce/other Wall Street money changers????

What about Teddy? Will he cast anymore votes to get bills like TPP brought to the floor, where it is immediately guraranteed to be handed off to RINOs and Socialists to move along????

Ahh, Teddy. Are we suppose to forget and forgive this camera hog, Bible thumper and Constitution waving snake oil salesman in the next moneyed-up re-election campaign?? He is loaded with Goldman cash on hand, and the $$$ of a few rubes among the Christian right who fell for the grooming and head patting.

Michael McCaul (R-TX) (Chairman of Homeland Security) is reportedly on a short list for a post in the TRUMP Administration. I was counting on him to decide to stick Cruz into the car business and out of sight.

Okay, lets go with Governor Perry. Rick! Get Cruz outta here. We need a credible candidate with money enough to whack the butter cup in the wagon wallet of his.

Come on, PACS. Move Cruz outta here!

The current TPP is dead.
Specifically, it won’t be passed in the Lame Duck.
Trump is all for ‘a’ TPP- but a good one.

I don’t think the Dems would let a good one pass though. So maybe Schumer is right.

What credentials does Obama have to understand global markets, or business in general? None!

All he saw with TPP was an opportunity to weaken America and “redistrubute” the wealth to turd world brown people who were victims of white colonialism.

Just tell them to watch closely what takes place.

“If you aren’t pleasantly surprised in four years, you can vote against him again. On the other hand, if you do, please support him when you can, so he can accomplish more.”

The mega donors are in a heap... There will be NO legislation to refund their contributions to political punks. WHO is going to refund Ted Cruz's, Jebus, Kasick, et al... Not to even touch the liberals deep dollar donors... Perhaps ‘we the people’ can sink $0r0$ and his attempts to destroy US?

“came as good news to the AFL-CIO Executive Council”

This is just too much. Yet they back Hillary all the way. Trump is much better for the American worker.

Oh great.

Replacing Reid with Chuck You Schumer.

I should lose lots of weight over the next four years due to all the barfing I’m going to do.
