Oh boy. Didn’t Cruz vote for this?

[Balding_Eagle]

This could explain why some Cruz supporters attack trump so viciously.

[Catsrus]

Yes, I believe he did.

[Guenevere]

He did!..and he wouldn’t listen to Sessions......he even said Sessions was wrong.

[Paladin2]

Cruz was "fooled" by that normally upright Mitch guy.....

(Actually I think/hope that Cruz wanted to be not so far from the GOPee as to be totally shunned in his run for POTUS. That vote was before Trump started the bomb throwing)

[SatinDoll]

Yes, Cruz did vote for TPP.

But you must understand: he is backed by GoldmanSachs, and Heidi Cruz is an expert on NAFTA and plays a part involved in international trade while being part of CFR. Senator Cruz himself supports open borders and an increase in H1B visas.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Oh boy. Didn’t Cruz vote for this?

Yes, he did.

WHO'S GOT THE CRUZ PING LIST?

[bigbob]

Yeah, but it doesn’t matter cuz he’s a brilliant debater and stuff

[RKBA Democrat]

“Oh boy. Didn’t Cruz vote for this?”

He was for it before he was against it. Voted for cloture but against the bill. That and his H1B stance tells you pretty much who is calling the shots.

He coulda been a contender. And might make make a halfway decent Veep for Trump. He just needs to be told to put a sock in it with regards to immigration and trade.

[Cold Heat]

Voted for TPA, not TPP, unless I missed somethin

[parksstp]

No he did not.

NOBODY has voted for TPP since TPP has NEVER come up for a vote.

Nice try though.

[free_life]

Cruz voted for TPA not TPP as it hasn’t been voted on yet.

TPP is bad bad bad for Americans, if Trump or anyone can stop America from signing unto TPP they will be legend.

Didn’t Cruz vote for Obama's TPP?

Yes, he did. The crucial vote gave Boobamba fast-track authority on TPP w/ a text which was so classified, not even members of Congress were allowed to read it.

Republican votes for this were even more horrendous since Obama calls the TPP deal "central" to his second-term legacy, as well as to his "foreign policy" and "economic" agendas.

A Republican voting to insure Obama's legacy should be relegated to the trash heap of history---not be running for president.

==================================================

POINTS TO PONDER

NOW ISN'T THIS INTERESTING? few, if any, of the RCEP and TPP countries contributed to the buck-raking Clinton Foundation.

Looks like the Clintons and Obama divvied up the globe so that each have their own countries in order to collect big buck get-rich-quick foundation donations, honorarium, cosultancies, and int'l insider business deals.

======================================

THE FACTS ARE THESE Obama's trade deal giveaway is a huge scam...best examined against the backdrop of Obama's two tax-exempt foundations (two-that we know of). Obama's priming the pump for donations to his two Foundations.

All of Obama's thinly-veiled actions....

(1) promoting TPA and TPP,

(2) his immigration suck-ups

(3) his non-action WRT ISIS, IRAN....

.....are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future get-rich-quick plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two get-rich-quick Foundations (two foundations that we know of).

All these entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share.

===================================================

WIKI REFERENCE: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and the six states with which ASEAN has existing FTAs (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand). RCEP negotiations were formally launched in November 2012 at the ASEAN Summit in Cambodia.

Front-runner Donald Trump’s popularity WRT illegal immigration has created problems for his GOP running mates---sinking most of them into ignominious single-digit territory.

But the issue of trade is Trump's winning card. Trump has been consistent in saying US trade deals are ruining our nation.

FOR STARTERS PONDER THIS Obama calls the TPP deal "central" to his second-term legacy, as well as to his "foreign policy" and "economic" agendas.

That's why Trump's trade stance is a winning issue.

He can point out that virtually all his Republican opponents including Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, and Sen. Marco Rubio, as well as Republican Congressional leaders, all support TPP.

"PLAY THE TRUMP CARD DONALD:" These Republicans are all supporting Obama's "legacy".

[conservativejoy]

NO, Cruz voted against TPA (Fast Track Authority). The vote on TPP has not come up yet, the Agreement has not been completed, but I am confident Cruz will Not support it.

[ConservativeMind]

Cruz voted for the first version of the TPA, which allows the TPP to slide through very easily. Cruz’s wife works for Goldman Sachs and helped author a paper with the CFR that described the need for this sort of approach toward trade. He also wants the increase in foreign workers (H1-B increase by 5X).

Cruz, when he found out that his leadership was crooked and tainted the TPA the second time through, voted against it.

How do you not know the Senate leadership can’t be trusted?
