TPA passed the Senate in May with just 62 votes. They will need 60 votes for Cloture today for the new TPA bill to advance for a final vote. In May, 48 republican and 14 rat senators voted for TPA (with TAA attached).
Cruz’s change knocks that number down to 61. A lot of negative information has come out on TPA since then.
Also, there is no TAA attached to this new TPA bill. It is entirely possible that several of those 14 rat senators who voted FOR TPA before may well vote against cloture and keep the bill from advancing without TAA. With Cruz’s flip and if no other GOP senator flips from no to yes, it would only take 2 of these 14 rats to flip from yes to no today to prevent the bill from advancing for a final vote.
BTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
