I am for Cruz. But his support of this is WRONG in my opinion. This article relates some facts, but it does not tell the whole story about the constraints the TPA puts on future pacts. Nor does it explain why the TPP is now a secret pact that cannot be viewed by the public unless the TPA is passed.

That is horse manure, pure and simple. Nothing better than Pelosi’s “we have to pass ObamaCare before we can read ObamaCare.”

Cruz, Walker, and Rubio support for this is WRONG and there is no vital urgency in giving our tyrant of a President to further infringe our rights.

Cruz is treating thinking conservatives like children. Like we can’t gather our own facts. Hugely insulting and obamaesque.

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

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.

Cruz stated his position clearly and honestly.

I support him given his explanation.

Agree with you, and I too am a Cruz supporter, but a very easy rule is, “If Zero wants it, it’s bad for America.”

It’s worse that wrong. It’s stupid, and Ted is the smartest man in Washington. I can’t believe that he has a blind spot on this issue which most of his base LOATHES. Politically dumb, maybe fatal.

Every single candidate will have a position with which you differ. Every single candidate will have a position with which I differ.

This does not mean you have to hold your nose and vote for the most lily livered rino to come down the pike.

It does mean that you can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good enough.

Cruz and Walker are both good enough.

Cruz, Walker and Rubio will all likely still be in their current positions after the 2016 presidential election. None of them will be President. Well Rubio will be out of job but not to worry he’s going to run for Governor of Fla. He will likely get elected. A much better place for him. Jebbie can run for Marco’s senate seat. We need more RINO’s in the senate. :-)
