Some really rich reading here on just what a pile of excrement the polisuck class is climaxing with an all time classic quote from that embodiment of cowardice and corruption himself, Mitch McConnell: Feinstein had joined other Democrats in insisting that several other bills be included with the fast-track authority, including assistance for displaced U.S. workers and prohibitions against currency manipulation. China has come under particular criticism over the past decade for suppressing the value of its currency to make its exports artificially cheap.
Boxer also railed against the secrecy surrounding the contents of the Trans-Pacific pact. She said that before she could read the agreement, a guard ordered her to leave behind any electronic devices and told her she could take handwritten notes only if she surrendered them afterward.
“Not on your life,” Boxer said she told the guard. “God knows why this is ... classified. It has nothing to do with defense, nothing to do with going after ISIS.”

The administration is also negotiating a trade deal with Europe. But without fast-track authority shielding the negotiations from later changes by Congress, it will be difficult to close the deals.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the rejection tells the rest of the world that “America can’t be depended upon.”

This shows everyone that Obama is far worse than even Boxer , Fienstien, Warren etc. This monster Obama is the worst possible greater evil . Everything this communist does is to destroy America, freedom and capitalism.
This trade deal is a trojan horse that allowed unrestricted and unlimited immigration from the 3rd world into the USA.

I’m glad evil Obama got defeated on this trade deal. It would have allowed UNRESTRICTED immigration into the USA, proof:

That means hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrants flooding the USA

Just another crime of Obama:

Obama and the FCC will shut down Drudge and freerepublic, and the Internet. I can’t believe even on this site people don’t seem to know or care what Obama is going to do to the Internet:

“FCC Commissioner: Feds May Come for Drudge [Isaiah 29]”

Ted Cruz and Rand Paul I think both voted to give Obama this trade power that included unlimited power to allow immigrants to move to the USA
