“The large majority of conservatives support free trade, they’re been trying to pass fast track for at least 20 years. Protectionism (ie supporting TAXES on imports) is the lib position and protectionist propaganda and fear mongering is tiresome. Cruz is in the right.”

Republicans have in fact been the greatest promoters of free trade. Have you noticed they don’t campaign that much on it, with all the jobs lost due to it and 93 million Americans unemployed. If Obama is for it, and if George Soros is for it, and factoring in the end of national sovereignty Senator Sessions has revealed about it, how on earth can Cruz be right?

It's not a major campaign issue except to the protectionists who whine about and it blame it for "taking jobs". It's far too mundane for the general public to care about.

If Obama is for it, and if George Soros is for it, and factoring in the end of national sovereignty Senator Sessions has revealed about it, how on earth can Cruz be right?

1)Some people would oppose sunshine and lollipops if Obama was for them. I don't care what his position is. He happens to be a broken clock this time. Most of his own stinking party disagrees with him.

2)All business people are for it unless their industry is the one benefiting from the protection. Protectionism

3)There is no threat to national sovereignty, that's protectionist propaganda magnified by (understandable but overblown) distrust of ANYTHING that Obama is favor of.

4)How can Cruz be wrong? Tariffs are taxes. Taking money from consumers (who the tax is passed on to) and putting into the pockets of the government in order to protect favored industries from competition is not the conservative position. 5)How can all the left-wing **cks who oppose it, the majority of democrats, and the union whores, be right?
