Evidently, you have to pass all three before it can go to the Senate. The only one that fail was TAA, which is some sort of displaced workers retraining that unions wanted. If the Trade Bill wasn't going to cost American jobs, then they wouldn't need this workers retraining. It's just another way to spend taxpayer's money, since there will not be any jobs when the workers are retrained.

Since they are going to bring TAA back up for a vote on Monday, they haven't finished sticking it to the American people. Just drawing it out till we give up.

Just remember the Dirty tricks Boehner and McCarthy pulled last year on the Cromulus bill. They lied to their Members to get a vote then screwed them and us!

Representative Marlin Stutzman (R., Ind.) accused House Republican leadership of reneging on a deal made with him to get his support on a crucial procedural vote that almost killed the $1.1 trillion cromnibus funding bill. “I was very surprised and even more disappointed to see the cromnibus back on the floor,” Stutzman said in a Thursday evening statement. “The American people deserve better.” Stutzman was one of the last Republicans to cast his ballot in favor of a rule allowing the House to vote on the cromnibus. National Review Online reported that Stutzman backed the rule at the last minute after leadership told him that they would pull the bill, once the rule was passed, and replace it with a short-term continuing resolution favored by rank-and-file conservatives. With the last-minute help of Stutzman and outgoing representative Kerry Bentivolio (R., Mich.), leadership won the vote 214–212...

I think we ALL should forward that to our Congresscritters as a reminder of the Leadership and their tactics.

Don’t forget they were trying to fund the retraining by taking the funds out of Medicare.
