House Democrats rebuffed a dramatic personal appeal from President Obama on Friday, torpedoing his ambitious push to expand his trade negotiating power — and, quite likely, his chance to secure a legacy-defining trade accord spanning the Pacific Ocean.

Cruz has explained his positions in all important areas including, in detail, the TPA trade bill and the secret TPP bill. Regarding the TPP secret bill, he says it should not have been secret but it will be public for 60 days before they vote on it. That info. is at the approximate 55/56 minute point in his speech in New Hampshire on June 1, 2015..
I urge everyone to listen to his very long speech and answering audience questions. You will know exactly where he stands on every important issue. Here is the link:

Be an informed voter and listen to what Cruz actually says instead of believing whatever someone else says about his position on important issues.
I would be uncomfortable with the HUNG thing. But just a 3 strikes and you’re out would do.
Stop trolling. Anyone who cares about Cruz’s excuses for voting for the crap sandwich has already seen your video or is so in the tank for Cruz that if he was caught in bed with Hillary Clinton they’d make up an excuse for him.
Everyone on Free Republic has seen your posts a dozen times. Posting the same thing over and over on the same and different threads is trolling.
Stop being a troll.
No, not on this. TPA assigns to him some of the power that constitutionally belongs to congress. Cruz can wish that away but the truth is still the truth.
Your idea of being informed is to follow Cruz no matter what. I do not agree with Cruz’s characterization of this. His pushing and pushing only starts making me mad. I don’t want to be mad because this will hopefully be a non-issue soon. But if he and his supporters keep calling the rest of us stupid (essentially) he will make it VERY hard for us to recover from our disappointment in him.
For Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)... there was a vote. 302 to 126 - so who voted “yes” and who voted “no”?
Not strong enough and everyone would soon forget. At least consider Hung in Effigy. Seems America has been turned into a group of wimps and somebody needs to straighten their thinking out.
He did it again.
FR will be a very interesting place in coming months. There are those who seem to think that Ted Cruz is the second coming of Reagan. There are also those such as myself and some others who believe that Cruz has shown himself to be a political hustler and a globalist cheerleader.
Given the amount of spinning we’re seeing from Cruz Central, the internals must look horrible. Betrayal of the middle class in full view will do that.
Don’t forget they were trying to fund the retraining by taking the funds out of Medicare.
TPA assigns to him some of the power that constitutionally belongs to congress.
Please provide the exact verbage in the bill, that does this.
TPA is still a problem.
SEN. SESSIONS EXPOSES HOW
OBAMA’S TPA SUBJECTS U.S. TO
INTERNATIONAL LAW
If Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority passes the House, Obama will have everything he needs to put America under the almost complete control of international law through the Trans Pacific Trade Agreement. Stunningly, GOP Leadership John Boehner and Paul Ryan are playing lapdog, acting as willing accomplices in Barack Obama’s plan for foreign control of America.
It is critically important that everyone understand exactly what is at stake.
Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority, (TPA), is a piece of legislation that transfers Constitutional negotiation powers from Congress to the President. The President may use this power to negotiate any international trade agreement with any partner the President chooses over the next few years, (including Iran and Cuba), and to negotiate the agreements in any way the President sees fit.
Under TPA, Congress agrees to give up in advance the ability to change any existing or future trade agreement, even before Congress has actually read agreements. Instead, TPA requests the President consider 150 ‘negotiating objectives’ on which Congress would like the President to ‘make progress’.
The President is not required to actually accomplish any of these objectives and may ignore those requests at will. In fact, the 2015 TPA bill makes clear that failure to achieve or make progress on any of the negotiating objectives shall not be cause for Congress to revoke trade authority from the President. Worst of all, by giving up its ability to amend or change any related laws and regulations the President and the World Trade Organization decide to impose on the United States; Congress is also transferring its’ law making powers to world courts.

“This is about who will have power in the “NEXT” Presidency. Democrats are playing on next years board...not now””
You are correct. A number of Freepers are not thinking in the future.
“A Ted Cruz “Troll”? On FR? Wel, I never!
Seriously though, around my neck of these here threads what you call “Troll” I consider FRiends. Check your head.”
Thanks. I am posting directly to those who haven’t heard Cruz speak on these issues. Some post and leave the thread and I want them to have the opportunity to hear Cruz’s position on the trade bills and illegal immigration and the middle east and numerous other positions. One needs to know what the candidate’s position is on these important issues. Voters should vote out of knowledge, not ignorance. It appears some want to remain ignorant and call names.
Thanks for your post.
I am not jumping through your “exact verbage” hoop. See post 233 for a general answer to your question, if you really want one. I suspect maybe you just wanted an argument against me.
You mean the statements by Anti-Trade Jeff Sessions? Yah...he’s not biased, not at all.
