Cruz is still the man. I hope Freepers take the time to read up on his position here.

Is TPA Constitutional? [S]imilar trade authority has been upheld by the Supreme Court as constitutional for more than 100 years.
Okay. But is it Constitutional?

"Toast" Cruz KNEW the American people do not want
secrecy, globalism, sell outs, tyranny, lawlessness or Obama.
But Toast knew better based, and has supported
Obama, globalism, secrecy, and the sell out of America
and the US Constitution.
He should have apologized and changed his ways.

For the past 80 years, it has proven virtually impossible to negotiate free-trade agreements without the fast-track process. And according to Senator Sessions and others, it's also proven impossible to defeat any so-called free trade agreement WITH the fast track process.

And, regardless, no trade agreement can change U.S. law; only Congress can change U.S. law.
really now.... What the hell has Obama been doing in spit of congress or with the tacit approval of the congress for the leas 6 years then?

Thanks for posting.
Fingers crossed that our antsy Freepers actually take the time to read it.

That's one of the major reasons the supporters of various trade agreements want fast track authority. Once they get that sucker negotiated, it's a done deal for all practical purposes.
Missed part of my post in first attempt.

Reading the details matters.
But then again, this IS the internet...
The “Cruz has gone moderate” theme is already alive and well on FR. I’m not sure the truth or logic will matter at this point.

I would vote for Cruz, but either he is naive or a little too optimistic of Congress: “Senator Cruz would not and will not give President Obama one more inch of unrestricted power. “ -— Since when has Congress restricted him?

Free trade helps American farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers; indeed, one in five American jobs depends on trade, in Texas alone 3 million jobs depend on trade. When we open up foreign markets, we create American jobs. Somehow we need money set aside for retraining displaced workers in every Free Trade agreement.
Yeah it helps farmers the get wet backs, manufacturers get their coolies and everything is hunky dory.

I read it. Wjy is there a logjam now Senator Cruz?
If fast track has been the only way to get trade agreements what happened to change that?

Moreover, Senator Cruz introduced a TPA amendment to expressly prohibit any trade deal from attempting to alter our immigration laws. Which failed!
So, the fact is that there was enough danger in Cruz's mind to introduce the amendment.

TPA stands for Trade Promotion Authority, also known as fast track. TPA is a process by which trade agreements are approved by Congress. Through TPA, Congress sets out up-front objectives for the Executive branch to achieve in free trade negotiations; in exchange for following those objectives, Congress agrees to hold an up-or-down vote on trade agreements without amendments. For the past 80 years, it has proven virtually impossible to negotiate free-trade agreements without the fast-track process. This is the key thing. The GOP Congress has shown no spine to stand up to Obama. When he comes back with a horrible TPP agreement, filled with all his favorite Comintern hobbyhorses, neither McConnell nor Boehner will do anything but take what Obama has to offer good and hard. It is naive in the extreme to think an agreement would be killed at that point.
Now, show me a Congress that finds some courage to slap Obama around with contempt jailings of his flunkies, special prosecutors for his immediate underlings, and wholesale rejection of his dictatorship of the bureaucracy, then - and only then - would I consider TPA.

this really clear things up. it is great that he is attuned to the concerns of the voters.
i hope everyone reads this.
most of the other contestants are good people.
but they dont have the charisma or the focus of Cruz.
i dont agree with him on everything. that’s never gonna happen. but i support him fully.
