I trust Jeff Sessions implicitly.

I trust Jeff Sessions implicitly.

For some reason, I haven't heard back from sinkspur on the matter?

[Oceander]

Smoot Hawley certainly was the next best thing to sliced bread.

Don't have time to read it. 
The people who don't support the TPP are the usual suspects:  Democrats, unions, protectionists, conspiracy nuts.

Don't quote somebody commenting on the TPP.  Quote the TPP, if the manuscript is out there.

If it is not out there, someone's in trouble. Under U.S. law, all of the treaties and laws they pass are public domain and public record.

I trust Jeff Sessions implicitly.

I trust Sen. Sessions to represent the views of the most conservative state in the union.  So far so good.

Then again I thought Donald Trump would self destruct...so what do I know?

I agree.  There are many things about Carson that trouble me.  I hope he goes the way of Santorum and Huckabee after Iowa.

Most MD's  are very bad business people. Rationale harder to get through Med school than business school , so business is easier. Carson just proved his weakness in the business area  and lack of understanding of the global financing war by a slect few against the US by supporting TPP. No docs for PRESIDENT at this point in time but Carson is a good man but needs more experience in his new career.

I think his days are numbered and he will continue on in the medical field.

TPP is one of the questions that is supposed to be asked in the next debate.  It should prove very interesting.

[MBB1984]

Yes, Republicans should do everything possible to expand Obama's dictatorial powers.

But you'll believe what you're told by ... who?

The manuscript is out there if you have the time to read all 5000+ pages.

Where is that link?

So looking at who voted Yea & Nay on TPP it looks like Carson sided with the Republicans. What a concept.
