Cruz voted to make it easier to pass TPP when it comes. It will only need 50 votes instead of 60, and no amendments can be offered. Then he can safely vote against it knowing it will pass anyway.
Ted Cruz is right to give Obama a blank check.
Plus, if this is right ACA- was right. Legislation must be passed BEFORE the public knows what it is.
First, has this writer read it?
Second, we don’t need trade deals we need to take the govt foot off the neck of US businesses. That will make us more competitive and bring in more revenue to the govt.
If its secret, I’m against it. And I don’t believe anything that anyone says about it. If I can’t see it. There must be a reason that I would not like. Secret laws are an east block thing. They have no place in America. Read The Trial.
I have agreed with Ted on everything up to now and I admit to not understanding trade deals. I will trust him on this even though I seem to agree with Sessions too. I will be open minded and reading and listening. Cruz has more info than I do about this.
TPA, or similar a law, has existed for decades.
...
And our middle class standard of living has been declining for decades.
Ted is right on all accounts.
What he is not able to is to overcome the mood that exists to repudiate anything that Obama touches. He might have recognized this and positioned himself accordingly
But some influential conservative Texans wanted him to grab TPA now because the democrats in the Senate won’t give him the necessary 60 votes in 2017 when he is President. So it was now or never for conservative industries and their hoped for exports. America loses as a result for future years under a Cruz Administration. But Ted is smart enough to find another way.
I’m not worried about the trolls, hacks, media moles and thick-skulled FR posters and their campaign to separate Ted from his base. I’m not worried because they’re stupid.
Ted is on a whirlwind tour meeting and speaking to the grassroots and he’s creating a sensation everyplace he goes. The numbskulls on this thread who are beating their chests would not be able to survive seconds in the ring against Ted on any subject and everyone watching would see them for the fools they are.
TPA will be old news very soon and the fools that pound their chest now will have nothing to crow about in a short time. In the meantime Ted will continue to gather critical momentum and support.
Want to bet this will never happen?
 No more support for RINO’s ever again!!!!!
Thanks for posting this. Cruz’s position on these things does increase my interest in his potential.
You forget that we are talking about Obama here.
Give it up. Nobody’s buying it. The SS Cruz is taking on water. But cheer up. After the presidential election Ted will still have his Senate seat. Its not like he will have to live off Heidi’s six figure income or anything.
God bless you and Thank you, Vet.
Please do not get discouraged.
Keep on keepin on.
 Ted Cruz Ping!
