You post that often. Illumination, not argument!!

Cruz - TPA

“Enough is enough. I cannot vote for TPA unless McConnell and Boehner both commit publicly to allow the Ex-Im Bank to expire—and stay expired. And, Congress must also pass the Cruz-Sessions amendments to TPA to ensure that no trade agreement can try to back-door changes to our immigration laws. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to vote no.
There’s too much corporate welfare, too much cronyism and corrupt dealmaking, by the Washington cartel. For too long, career politicians in both parties have supported government of the lobbyist, by the lobbyist, and for the lobbyist – at the expense of the taxpayers. It’s a time for truth. And a time to honor our commitments to the voters.”

I post it often because Cruz was all for TPA. The Ex-Im Bank argument only came up after his vote for cloture and its not the worst component of Obamatrade by any stretch of the imagination.

Cruz knows what's in TPP yet he actively worked for fast track to grease the skids for TPP which threatens our sovereignty, freedom, and trade. Even has a Intellectual Property chapter to shut down Drudge.

Cruz knew this when he along with Paul Ryan argued for TPA.

Ted Cruz joins the establishment

Ted's good at making a side issue very public as in the Ex-Im Bank argument but it's Kabuki theater. Obamatrade is a disaster, possibly worse for the country than Obamacare because you're bringing foreign regulators into it yet both Cruz and Rubio supported it along the way. In fact, Cruz only got out of the final vote because they no longer needed him. Rubio took the dive:

Marco Rubio Casts Deciding Vote For Obamatrade Without Even Reading It

This is how Washington has played us for years, time to wake up.
