Cruz sold us out! He is no longer Conservative (never mind his record). He is a globalist. He is bought and paid for. He is losing his base. He is a traitor. He is horrible! He is almost like Satan now.
There, beat the trolls.
Bottom line, folks, he gave his explanation. It seems reasonable to those who want to actually pay attention. So, for your agenda driven Paulies, Walkerbots, newfound Trumpites, etc...stop being polyanna’s and tell us why we should support YOUR candidate of choice.
Cruz or lose!
Sessions is ‘out-Cruzzing’ Cruz on this.
How come????
Well said.
Lose with Cruz. How delusional can you be with this glib explanation by Cruz for his sellout.
“Promoters of fast-track executive authority have relied on semantic obfuscation in an effort to deny the obvious: the President’s top priority is obtaining fast-track authority because he knows it will expand his powers and allow him to cement his legacy through the formation of a new political and economic union,” Sessions said.
If, as promoters amazingly suggest, the President had more powers without fast-track, he would veto it. The authority granted in “Trade Promotion Authority” is authority transferred from Congress to the Executive and, ultimately, to international bureaucrats. The entire purpose of fast-track is for Congress to surrender its power to the Executive for six years. Legislative concessions include: control over the content of legislation, the power to fully consider that legislation on the floor, the power to keep debate open until Senate cloture is invoked, and the constitutional requirement that treaties receive a two-thirds vote. Legislation cannot even be amended.
Do we really need to give the WH, regardless of who is in it, fast track authority?
Cruz warned about the immigration powers this gives to Obama....good.
Cruz offered an amendment to “fix” the dangerous immigration powers.....good.
Cruz’s amendment was voted down.......OK
Cruz then votes for the bill containing the “dangerous” (his words) immigration powers.......WTF?
“There, beat the trolls.”
I have often wondered out loud why the only refutation Cruz supporters can offer is name calling.
Exactly right, TNMOUTH.
Obviously those still condemning Cruz have not LISTENED to the entire interview.
Ted Cruz is an unwavering proven conservative who reveres our country and understands our founding documents backwards and forwards. He stands for liberty, conservative and constitutional principles even in the face of blistering criticism. He has far more access to all pertinent facts and issue details than I or we will ever have. Based on his history, proven character, intelligence and record, I trust Ted Cruz to make the best decisions possible for our American interests. He also thoroughly understands the threats of BHO,the leftist/communist agenda, illegal immigration, Islam, etc. I’m grateful that there is a politician whom I can have full confidence in.
I won’t waste time responding to anyone who might accuse me of blind allegiance or being a Cruzbot. That would be a ridiculous accusation.
