When did Ted Cruz support TPP which has not even been voted on and to which he as adamantly opposed?

____________________________________

On May 22, 2015 Senator Cruz voted “yes” for TPA. TPA would’ve been a fast track for TPP. Cruz and Paul Ryan did a joint Wall Street Journal op-ed touting this POS legislation. Remember that?

The fact that Obama was pushing TPA/TPP/TAA should’ve been Cruz’s first clue this was a disaster! Sorry, but on this matter, Ted Cruz is full of sh*t!

BTW, Donald Trump has never been a politician, and never voted on anything affecting American’s lives! Ted Cruz is a sitting U.S. Senator who voted for TPA!

So, in your world, only Ted Cruz can change his position? You folks are hypocrites!

TPA is not TPP. Not one has voted for TPP. It hasn't been voted on yet and Ted Cruz is totally opposed to it.
Next?

Wrong. TPA is fast track for trade agreements, not specifically for TPP. And every president since at least Reagan has had TPA - this is not some new power granted to Obama. And if TPA was specifically intended to show TPP down our throats, then how have they been able to prevent TPP from being passed? So obviously, it is possible to be for TPA and against TPP.

By the way - did you realize that most of the opposition to TPA came from liberal Democrats? So it seems somehow appropriate that Trumps supporters are joining Democrats again to oppose Cruz.
