It’s Alive–U.S. Trade Rep: Congress Has the Votes to Pass TPP

Breitbart-

U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman says Congress has the votes to pass the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement if it is brought up for a vote.

“If they [House and Senate leaders] bring it forward, I think we can get the votes there,” Froman told NBC on Tuesday.

Hillary Clinton was a vocal proponent of the TPP–having reportedly praised the deal at least 45 times–and played a “leading part in drafting” the deal before she was eventually forced to distance herself from her prior support for political reasons.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has previously argued that Clinton only says she’s against the TPP because she was “shamed” into doing so, and has warned that, if she is elected President, Clinton “will immediately approve it [TPP] if it is put before her.”

  1. Bet your ass that the POS Ryan is working up some kind of bullshit rhetoric, despite him saying he would not bring TPP up in a lame duck session, to get this passed.

    There are going to be major fireworks between Ryan and Trump.
