Wow, did you read any of the links I’ve ever posted.

Cruz wrote an article arguing for TPA, wanted to give Obama increased powers and pushed hard for fast track. Then, when needed, he voted to bring it out of cloture.

The fact that he got out of the final vote doesn’t clear him. That’s like Pontius Pilate washing his hands after he set every thing in motion.

Wasn’t trying to change your mind, know that will not happen. Have read the articles.

“Since the Senate first voted on TPA, there have been two material changes.

First, WikiLeaks subsequently revealed new troubling information regarding the Trade in Services Agreement, or TiSA, one of the trade deals being negotiated by Obama.

Despite the administration’s public assurances that it was not negotiating on immigration, several chapters of the TiSA draft posted online explicitly contained potential changes in federal immigration law. TPA would cover TiSA, and therefore these changes would presumably be subject to fast-track.”

They knew until WikiLeaks leaked.

Some candidates are allowed to change positions and others are not. That is clear.

Thanks for the “Pontius Pilate” comparison, clears things up more.

Hope your day is a great one.

Take care.........pilgrim
