Debate has been closed off by a vote of 60 to 37. All the rest should now fall in line for the Obama/McConnell/Boehner alliance.

Well it appears the betrayal of America is almost complete. They just voted for cloture on TPA.

[Political Junkie Too]

Watch out for the "voted for cloture but voted against the bill" sham excuse. McConnell used that one many times.

I don’t think he planned ahead to do this. It made him go back on his “Trust me” pledge. I think he was misled.

All these conservatives need to read Free Republic more often to see where their base lies. It’s as big as a barn door here, you can’t miss it.

Cloture vote passed by 60-37.

High drama (NOT!) to the very end.

Now on to the real vote.

[firebrand]

He is, and so is Trump. The only two men left standing.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Count Ohio’s Rob Portman to vote “Aye”. He is in Mitch’s pocket. Last June he sent $100,000 to Thad Cochran in Mississippi to help fund the race baiting ads to encourage dems to cross over and defeat McDaniel.

Portman is a walking poster for the Establishment. He has been running ads in Ohio proclaiming the glory of the trade authorization and what it means for our economy (B.S.) He sickens me to no end.
