How about doing a novel thing, telling us what’s in it, so we can decide if we like it or not.

So, in other words, Cruz IS smart. He just thinks those who are inclined to vote for him are stupid ...

“Senator Cruz would not and will not give President Obama one more inch of unrestricted power.”

Yeah, you can piss on my legs and tell me it’s raining, but that doesn’t mean I have to believe you.

I’m glad Cruz showed his true colors before I sent his campaign any money.

Nor does he explain how Senator Jeff Sessions, who has seen the secret deal, says exactly the opposite.

All lies and subterfuge.

TPA makes it far easier for Obama and other Traitors to shove TPP down our throat.

“Senator Cruz would not and will not give President Obama one more inch of unrestricted power”

And then he votes for legislation that surrenders power to Obama that takes away the Senate’s 60-vote cloture and takes away any member of congress’ right to offer amendments. It also allows Obama to betray again in secret. Something Cruz is obviously fine with.

This piece of trash article is the same kind of misinformation so many politicians now try to insult us with. They do something to us and then have the audacity to look us in the face and tell us they didn’t do what they just did.

Nothing that Cruz says after this can be believed. He is lost and completely discredited. Time to move on to the next candidate since we have eliminated this liar.

Nor does it explain why the TPP is now a secret pact

They are not voting on TPP, only the TPA. TPA is fully public and Cruz opposes the secrecy of TPP and wants that to be fully public when it's voted on sometime in the future.

Yeah...TPA is public. And it pretty much binds them when considering the SECRET TPP. Are you trying to be intentionally dissembling?

Amen, brother, amen!

We’re given the business rather than representation. Otherwise, this dog would be inspected and understood and not floating on top of conflict, confusion and division hours before the vote.

He needs to go on Mark Levin and try to convince him.

Going on Hugh Hewitt to try to sell a crap sandwich that destroys American Sovereignty in order to promote big business and “free trade” is like a liberal going on MSNBC.

You can’t convince me that the TPA and TPP are good deals. Obama wants them both. That should raise red flags among all conservatives and patriotic Americans.

When I see an article like this one, I’m pretty much convinced that Cruz is not the conservative and patriot we all thought he was. Either he is naive, stupid or bought. I would hope it is the first one.

Everyone needs to contact Ted Cruz’s campaign and tell him to shut up and join with Jeff Sessions in stopping this crap sandwich before it gets fed to the American People.

He is losing his base and if he is too stupid to know that, then he is too stupid to be President.

I understand passing TPA eliminates the 60 vote and goes by a simple majority vote for passing the TPP. A much lower threshold to meet and a certain guarantee of passage.

We have also heard this same mantra about passage of TPA is only procedure and TPP will be defeated in the final vote.

Did we not hear the same bull hockey during the Obamacare mess? “Don’t worry, this is just a procedure vote and we will kill it on the next more important vote?”

TPP destroys our national sovereignty and it bypasses the Constitution’s treaty provisions.

TPA puts TPP on the fast track to almost certain approval.

What more does any patriot need to know?

And ALL Cruz has to do here for me is refuse to support TPA...

It's too late. He already voted for it. It passed the Senate in part because of his vote.

His campaign released this because they are aware of the fact that this has severely damaged his campaign. But instead of listening to his base, Cruz is doubling down. He has probably destroyed any chance he had of getting the nomination. But rather than admit that he was wrong, he is pushing himself into the GOPe. Perhaps he can win the nomination by going left and supporting the New World Order. If he does, then he can do it without my support.
