Backers of President Barack Obama’s trade agenda are imploring key senators to stand by their previous votes when they revisit the issue in a showdown set for Tuesday.
Opponents meanwhile are mounting an equally emotional push to keep Obama from obtaining “fast track” authority to negotiate trade agreements with Pacific Rim countries and others.
At least 60 of the Senate’s 100 members must back the measure for it to clear a procedural hurdle Tuesday and complete a near-miraculous resurrection of the White House priority. In a May 21 vote, 62 senators backed fast track, but they didn’t expect it to return to their chamber. …

We’ll find out today which US Senators care at all about what US citizens want.

I predict a fine show today, full of drama and angst. But like all soap operas, you know someone is getting screwed. In this case the entire middle class.
Because Your Vote Really Matters - an anti-voting pinglist. Send an FR mail to RKBA Democrat to be put on the list.
Please U.S.Senators,
Tell mitch to pound sand.
As we sit here predicting, they’re probably sitting in some secret location, figuring out which 61 Senators can vote for this monster to the floor and still be re-elected.

Naaah. This was already scripted. All that remains is the choreography.
Someday there may be a monument to those heroes of the left who brought the US down and McConnell will be at the forefront along with Boehner, both loyal lieutenants to the Obamageddon that changed the world and turned out the lights on Western civilization.
Mcconnel working for and with obama nice!
make the calls folks.
Chuckie is a Obama worm propagandist of the lower form and a true ragging left wing mental case.
Ted Cruz is a crooked sellout, and an Obama-supporting
liar, who has fortunately revealed himself, early.
TN’s 2 RINOS will vote yes.

Cruz has declared he will vote NO this time around. Too much back room dealing and the failure to eliminate immigration rules that have been built into the trade bill.
TOAST Cruz knew in advance,
and planned strategically to eventually do
‘too little, too late’ to try to look
conservative again, yet to keep the $$$$$$ for his family
from Goldmann Sachs by arranging for it to pass anyway.
Good grief. Enough. The real toast in this election cycle is Rand Paul. He looks more foolish every time he opens his mouth.
Thanks for the post.
I looked up Rand Paul and TPA on google and it appears that
he is against Obama,Cruz,McConnell on this SECRET travesty.
Is that correct?
It’s time to realize that the Republican Party represents many varied interests but conservatism,reduction of government,defense of American’s sovereignty,borders,wages,and Christian values are not among them. As we’ve seen recently in the House anyone defending those values are punished. The leadership of the Republican Party has learned that they can count on the base come election time and after taking office proceed with opposing the wishes of the base with no consequences. There can only be one reaction to this, since the Republican Party has abandoned it’s base the base should abandon the Republican Party. It’s time for a real Conservative party. Please don’t tell me we have no choice but to support Republicans and reform from within because the leadership is purging Conservative officeholders while playing Conservatives come election time.
Every Republican has apparently taken an Oath
to lie to, and betray, their voters,
to support Obama and Islam against the American people,
to betray the US Constitution,
and to preen adoringly before the MSM.
“We’ll find out today which US Senators care at all about what US citizens want.”.........
We will also find out which ones need to be re-called and/or voted out of office ASAP.
