Presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz pledges to stand up for fair trade in a new state-wide Wisconsin ad hitting on international trade deals, a signature issue of frontrunner Donald Trumps campaign.
Free trade is generally seen as a globalist policy in which restrictions on imports and exports are kept to an absolute minimum. Fair traders, on the other hand, argue that purely free trade can have negative consequences for the citizens of a particular country, especially when it comes to wages and employment opportunities for the lower and middle classes. They recommend that sovereign nations negotiate and implement trade deals that prioritize their own people first. This debate has been a centerpiece of the 2016 primary season as both political parties have seen populist factions revolt against their respective establishments over what they view as unfair free trade deals.
Cruz, speaking directly to the camera, says:
Wisconsin is a beautiful place where the people place solutions over slogans.
Our campaign is for the working moms, the truck drivers, the mechanics, and the machinists with calluses on their hands. Its for the farmers and factory workers and the families who worry about prices going up while paychecks stay flat. Its for the young people coming out of school unable to find a job.
Im going to stand up for fair trade, and bring our jobs back from China.
We will see wages going up. Well see opportunity again.
Well see a President who will stand with the people of Wisconsin, and Americans everywhere.
This is a significant change in policy and rhetoric for Cruz away from Republican partys limitless trade orthodoxy.

The link I sent you shows lyin’ Ted tell 6 lies about Trump in under 4 minutes during a speech Cruz gave. No honest person could call Cruz anything but Lyin’ Ted. The only thing I even partially believe that lying’ Ted has said recently is “Donald Trump may be a rat but I have no desire to copulate with him” and I am not 100% sure on that given how much Cruz lies and the stories coming out about his libido. Even the Mr. Nice Guy postman Kasich is calling Cruz lying’ Ted. Dr. Carson called him a liar and Marco Rubio called Cruz a liar. The only thing most Republican candidates have agreed on so far this election is that Cruz is a shameless liar. I submit to you that when multiple professional politicians call another politician a liar that guy is probably a liar of epic proportions. Yet you say no honest person ever called Cruz “lyin’ Ted” and only deranged Hillary trolls call him Lyin’ Ted. Your reality sounds like a strange place. Have fun there.
.
Your link does no such thing.
Cruz has been fully factual speaking on Trump.
Trump is an open book, although he has been trying hard to burn the book.
.
Actually the link does exactly that. Perhaps not in your reality though. Have fun.
.
Live by your lies; die by your lies.
Is OK by me.
Lies are demonstrably Ted Cruz’s thing. I do not lie much. Have a great weekend.
Oh please, I am voting for Cruz because he is trustworthy on constitutional government.
I suspect that the South is more aware of how dangerous balkanization is than other parts of the US. We’ve had to navigate race relations for a long, long time.
