TPP has not passed and won’t even be up for a vote until mid 2016.

TPA does NOT ensure TPP passage. In fact, given the strong negotiating power of the Freedom caucus, requiring House passage as well as Senate means that TPP is far more likely to fail, thanks to TPA.

It guarantees an up or down vote. No amendments or changes of any kind. No way it fails. Just like the corker bill, they will pretend like there is enough opposition bit it will pass.
