If you have been here for 10 years, you have learned nothing.
Perot is despised by most members of FR.
What we are opposed to is backroom deals and collusion which never fixes anything but who’s only result is to keep the powerful in power.

If you are here to promote the GOP leadership, you will not be here long.

1. I’ve read dozens and dozens of people who agree with Perot’s position on protectionism.

2. What has been released about this bill says that the President cannot make any trade agreement without congress ratifying it. All he gets to do is negotiate it. As much as I despise Obama, I see no reason why he shouldn’t be allowed to negotiate free trade agreements. They still need to be ratified by Congress. If they are crappy deals, and Ted Cruz votes for it, then he deserves heat. He shouldn’t deserve heat to give the President authority that I believe the President should have. I would certainly want him to have authority to negotiate if Cruz every becomes president.

3. I am about as anti-establishment as it gets, but I do strongly support free trade over protectionism. Protectionism has a long track record of failure in this world. I’m am firmly in Ted Cruz’s corner this cycle as he is clearly the most intelligent, quick-witted candidate that has run for the Republican nomination since Reagan.
