Question 1: How would you vote (or how did you vote) on fast-track, and would you support or oppose advancing a final trade agreement which enters the United States into a new international commission with binding authority on future United States trade policy?
ANSWER: I was steadfastly opposed to giving Obama his Fast-Track powers, and would have absolutely voted against it. This is one of the strongest distinctions between me and the other candidates in this race. The Congress, apparently under the magical spell of donors, gave massive new powers to a President who has repeatedly abused his authority. The other candidates in this race actually fought on Obama’s side to give him more power to abuse.
As for creating a new international commission with authority over United States trade policy I am, again, steadfastly opposed. No foreign power should be given any control over the United States. Yet the other candidates who supported Fast Track allowed President Obama to do just that. It’s not too late to save our sovereignty: when I win the nomination, I will put America back in charge.
Question 2: If the vote on the Trans-Pacific Partnership were held today, and you had a vote to cast in Congress, would you vote for it or against it?
ANSWER: I have strongly and consistently opposed the TPP. For decades, I have warned about how our terrible trade deals are killing the middle class. We are getting taken to the cleaners. My message on trade has been consistent from the beginning, and if politicians had listened to me years ago we would have saved millions of jobs, rebuilt our crumbling infrastructure, and saved trillions of dollars.
My candidacy is the only way to stop this terrible deal that will send our manufacturing

First to reply to Jeff Sessions.
That’s what leaders do.
Go Trump!
I love that pic.
It is worth 10,000 words.
Rush he is a True Conservative
Along with Marco Rubio who went with the Gang of Eight with Linda Graham, Juan Mc Cain, Chuck Shumer ( whom Rush said if Trump would work with disqualifies him the day before) , Bob Menendez , Bill Bennett, Jeff Flake.
Rush has Main Street Media quoting him everyday should tell you something

Playing the stones
Why hasn’t Cruz answered Sessions questions?
_________________________________________________
He can’t without trapping himself.
Trump is the only chance to get the country back through the ballot box.
Cruz is still the most conservative candidate across the board,
__________________________________________________________
Cruz is conservative on social issues.
He is a globalist on economic/security issues.
Which is most important to you?
What a wonderful picture!
If we don’t solve the economic/security issues we won’t have any control over social issues anymore.
Not sure why more people don’t realize that the concept and value of US Citizenship is being depleted by the masters of the universe.
Yeah, isn’t that terrible. I think this election is separating the “conservatives” who have an ideological rigidity from the Americans who want to save our country.
Wasn't there an article posted on FR the other day about some Cruz SuperPacs paying people to post positive Cruz propaganda on various websites? If true, that would explain a LOT.
Rush has become their new darling , did Rush sell out”
What did he sell exactly, and what was the bargain?
bttt
I am DONE with Free Traitors. I am voting for Trump, Period.
Here is something I wrote a while back and post from time to time.

As someone about Trump’s age, I find it easy to believe his explanation as to why he’s running.
I’ve agonized over the America we are leaving for my own children and grandchildren to live in and raise their families in. Most Freepers here probably feel the same way.
America hardly resembles the one I grew up in. It’s but a shadow of its former self, with freedoms, successes, with respect from our friends, and fear of us by our enemies, all but non-existent.
Trump said he was running so that his family wouldn’t look at him, knowing he could have fixed it, but didn’t.
His own story of building the Trump Organization shows that he knows how to build great empires. Now he wants to make all of America great again.
I think we are but the lucky side beneficiaries.
“Cruz is conservative on social issues. He is a globalist on economic/security issues.”
Show me the conservative organization that rates him low on fiscal conservatism or on national defense.
His enemies are very revealing: Planned Parenthood, Dems, GOPe, every leftwing news outlet.
Makes me think I am not a true conservative after all. Maybe I am a pro life pro gun nationalist after all. I could see a speaker Ryan telling Trump no to the wall. Then what? I hope he flips him off and starts it anyway
