I wouldn’t waste your time with these people. The single issue only trade protectionists are getting almost as bad as the RuPaul isolationist blame-America first crowd with the constant ranting.
There’s major problems with this bill, but as was pointed out by others the sides are not fully divided along a conservative/liberal spectrum here. Obama was for it and Elizabeth Warren was against it.
The people here posting article after article about TPP b*tching about Cruz and this 1 vote are not serious about saving the country and have an agenda if they are willing to throw the man overboard on the basis of 1 vote which does not fall strictly along ideological lines since there’s issues on both sides.
Either you believe Ted Cruz is a true conservative that you can trust OR you don’t. He gave what I thought was a very logical explanation and why I might disagree with the bill and would prefer this not be dealt with until after Obama leaves office, I don’t see this vote as some kind of hidden agenda on the part of Cruz to deceive or lie. I just don’t agree with it.
As for your other question about whom these people support, I’ve seen Trump’s name come up.
I’ve also seen Tom Cotton’s name come up being championed as the lone person that opposed this vote (or maybe I’m thinking of another vote). My point is Cotton was immediately heralded as a hero and champion of true conservatism. Um ok, but I’m pretty sure before he got to the Senate he voted several times in 2011-2014 to increase the debt ceiling. But now, because of this 1 issue and this 1 issue only, he’s a champion and those other votes can be forgotten.
Yet Cruz’s history of a solid record is discarded because of 1 vote?
Yeah, that makes perfect sense ?!
Americans have no clue what Obama is about to do to us. people do need to see these links I post below. This is supposed to be government of the people and by the people not a dictatorship where an evil communist named Obama writes the laws and we can't even see them .That obama hides this trade deal from the American people shows Obama is a villain . someone that is fair and not evil would have an address to the nation that lays out exactly what this horrible bill does as will affect all Americans. Obama doesn’;t do it. the media doesn't do it . Instead obama and the news media hide it from us because both know Americans would not approve of this. So they steal our country and our birthright and all our hard work behind our backs, the media and obama the villans most foul , communist monsters all of them(the media and Obama)
monsters...
This TTP/TPA Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...

This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic. Proof here :
