#ObamaTrade: Ted Cruz is dangerously wrong about Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) | RedState

... That brings us to how the GOP presidential contenders in the Senate stand. As I mentioned, Paul voted against the TPA. Rubio and Graham voted for it, despite not reading the TPP first, and have not said anything since.
And to the shock and dismay of his supporters, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% has joined Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 60% (who just echoed Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) 18%‘s “pass it to find out what is in it” comments) as a top cheerleader for the TPA. Together, they wrote an op-ed in favor of it. Check Cruz’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts and you will find that he has been in media-blitz mode to get it passed.
