My take on Cruz ... I read his explanation of TPA and TPP and I get where he’s coming from; however, he’s a decent man and unfortunately, Obama is not. The way TPA & TPP would work under a law abiding, American loving president is not the way it’s going to work under Obama. I’m a little surprised Cruz is still expecting a decent outcome by following the process of giving Obama TPA & then expecting (or “hoping” as Steve King said) that Obama will follow the agreement, law, whatever ... and do what is in the best interests of the country. Since Obama himself has poisoned the well with everything he has said and done in the last 6 years, there is absolutely NO way he can be trusted ... thus, kill it all. If it’s that important, try again in two years. If the Dems won’t vote for it ... well, I guess the Repubs will have to somehow keep majorities in the House & Senate.
Obamacare got voted out of the Senate Finance Committee, no thanks to Olympia Snowe (the sole Republican vote), when the monstrosity could have been killed right there. She chose to break with party lines because, “I do happen to believe that we have to move the process forward, on this very difficult and challenging issue.” I see this TPA/TPP as the same thing ... no way we should even get to TPP with Obama as president.
Thank you for the reply.
