That’s completely false. TPA requires any trade agreement that uses it be made public at least 60 days prior to an up or down vote on the trade agreement. Therefore, the American people will have a chance to contact their representatives in Congress about their preferences.
That’s a straw argument. We don’t need TSA to see a trade agreement. There is this other document you may have heard of called the Constitution. I can assure you Congress sees all trade agreements before they vote on them.
Why is Ted Cruz supporting the fast tracking of the totally secret Obama TiSA/TTIP trade agreements? Please answer that question.

You’re not assuring anything. In fact your answer shows you’re a nobody in this game. Sorry to inform you but that’s a fact.
TPA was crafted many decades ago and was killed by Harry Reid who wanted to take it away from GW Bush.
THE FACT IS THAT NO NATION WANTS TO DEAL WITH THE CLUSTER F*CK THAT IS THE US CONGRESS ON ANY TRADE DEAL. THAT’S A FACT. Because Congress amends, and amends and amends until foreign trade delegations throw their hands in the air and scream “I’m outta here!.”
THE PROBLEM IS NOT TPA! THE PROBLEM IS OBAMA!
If Ted Cruz was President, you would see Senator Jeff smiling, sweet talking, chuckin and jivin that President Cruz needs that TPA and boy oh boy is he going to vote for TPA so that President Cruz can approve some high-demand American products for export that will in turn create millions of jobs. For example, the excess crude from the present oil glut inside the USA that Obama refuses to allow to be exported.
But in 2017 when Senator Jeff is falling all over himself and gushing his support for TPA for President Cruz, it will take a new vote AND IT WILL TAKE 60 CLOTURE VOTES IN THE US SENATE which the democrats will never give over to President Cruz. This is why Ted Cruz’ Texan constituents are pushing him to get the TPA now because he won’t be getting it later!
