Of course he says that now;

Again TPA is the conservative free trade way. It's not exactly New. Past Republican presidents were given lessee the same fast track trade negotiation powers. Again TPA is not law. It means ZILCH . It expressly gives congress powers to review every aspect of any trade agreement reached and reject it in totality if it's not to congress's liking. That's what TPP is there for. The only thing that counts in the end is TPP.

“The only thing that counts in the end is TPP.”

Correct, but TPA will have made TPP possible, if it passes, and it probably will.
