H.R. 1314: Trade Act of 2015 Vote.

Cruz voted "Yea".

[Just mythoughts]

Cruz is quite lawyerly deceptive... just like ol BJClinton... Now there is NO plausible cause to install a VAT tax on Americans... But to fulfill Heidi (Hillry’s) part in drawing up that North American Union paperwork, would require a VAT tax... Cruz proposes a VAT tax in his ‘campaign’ but never speaks about it.

Funny how Cruz plays on all sides and feigns the Jesus act... but just like every thing Cruz, it is the devil in his details.

Whoops! We forgot to include the VAT in the TPP

Yes, he and a majority voted to require an up or down vote without amendment to the Pacific Rim trade pact, NOT the pact itself. The pact has not been brought up for a vote. In the current political climate during an election year, with both trade unions and TEA Party enthusiasts opposing passage, if the agreement reaches the Senate floor it will probably get about as many votes as Kyoto did years ago. Obfuscating the difference between TPA and TPP is a neat trick but the people doing it are either ignorant or intentionally disingenuous.

Cruz voted against TPA. When the bill came back from the House, it did not have the immigration language that he and Sessions wanted and McConnell was doing back room deals to try to get it through. Cruz voted “No”.

Cruz is solidly against TPP, which has not ben voted on yet.
