Voting aye on TPA puts TPP on the fast track to virtually certain approval.
And I think almost everyone who pays any attention understands this.
Contrary to what the political hacks think, we’re not stupid.

At lot of us don’t have the background to understand what “the real issues” are and we need it in laymen’s terms. I am stupid when it comes to his issue. I admit it so please enlighten so we understand what wasn’t addressed in the PR...
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?”
