As a general matter, I agree (as did Ronald Reagan) that free trade is good for America; when we open up foreign markets, it helps American farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers. But TPA in this Congress has become enmeshed in corrupt Washington backroom deal-making, along with serious concerns that it would open up the potential for sweeping changes in our laws that trade agreements typically do not include. Since the Senate first voted on TPA, there have been two material changes. First, WikiLeaks subsequently revealed new troubling information regarding the Trade in Services Agreement, or TiSA, one of the trade deals being negotiated by Obama. Despite the administration’s public assurances that it was not negotiating on immigration, several chapters of the TiSA draft posted online explicitly contained potential changes in federal immigration law. TPA would cover TiSA, and therefore these changes would presumably be subject to be fast-track. When TPA last came up for a vote, both Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)80% and I introduced amendments that would have barred fast-track treatment for any trade agreement that attempted to impact immigration law. Two other Republican senators objected, and we were both denied votes on our amendments. Instead, the House inserted substantially weaker language in related legislation.

Yep, I thought you were.
Glad you are on board. The funny part...none of them will answer
Palin stepped out of the race how many YEARS ago and they are STILL on her.
It’s called nuking from Orbit. The only to be sure.
“Toast Cruz = McConnell and Obama’s little helper.”
You are out of your ever-loving mind.
Cruz is THE consistent conservative in the race.
If not, show me someone more conservative in their positions and voting track record.
I was wondering how someone that wouldn’t support Cruz because of his original stance on TPA - yet now supports Walker who supported TPA, and as id this moment, still does.
It also means that Cruz is winning...
Of course not ;)
Cruz brings out the hypocrisy in some. And the best in those he can personally influence. He’ll pick an outstanding cabinet.
Being from Tennessee, we have to stand together!
There is only one point that needs to be told to libs.
“If you voted for Romney you have no excuse.”
If they did not vote for Romney, I can somewhat respect their choice to oppose Cruz as they are at least consistent. Wrong this time, but consistent.
LOL...
His supporters, like me, had a feeling that his vote would be different BECAUSE the Boehner wing of the party ONLY allowed Democrats to offer Amendments.
Why is that so difficult to understand?
They don’t want the provably most conservative man running to be President. If they did, they would back him.
That simple.
Constantly harping on some vote by Senator Sessions on an entirely different issue makes you look silly, if not incoherent. No one has opposed bad immigration and trade policies as consistently as Sessions.
You are doing Cruz no favors with your silly meanderings.
Discredit Sessions? You are part of the problem. We have asked HOW Sessions, who supported CAFTA, is a hero on trade?
As for Cruz, prove he flipped on immigration...
It’s Chase. If you have chase check your account and you’ll see the format. In fact, you really should recognize it as a legitimate format. Obviously, I’m not including the number.
You might also recognize the date of 24 March.
Right, but that has no bearing on WHOSE account it is.
So, was I right....are you back on the Cruz train?
Why don’t you copy forward the remarks you think you are responding to?
Ted Cruz Ping! It’s the oldest con-game in D.C.
It works, as many still take the bait over and over and over.
Exactly. Some are so mad at Cruz for once supporting it that they will jump to another that once - and still - supports it!
Just shows Cruz is human - and better than that, able to admit a mistake and rectify it. Publicly. Because he knew he’d be attacked for it. That takes a pair.
Yes he opposed it because he’s “Human”?
It has nothing to do with opposing it because he knew damn well it was going to pass anyway?
Can Americans really be this naive?
Yes.
Call me a suspicious person but why now as the train left the station and it will pass.
Who you calling Buttercup, Sweetie?
