Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has published email evidence late Sunday evening that now proves Rove is lying about a 2009 exchange the two had about a then-planned endorsement of Cruz for Attorney General of Texas by former U.S. President George H.W. Bush.
This is a significant development, after both Rubio and Bush have publicly refused to back a Constitutional marriage amendment, while most of the rest of the GOP field has.
An exclusive excerpt from a new book by 2016 GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), obtained by Breitbart News, shows that Cruz detailed how GOP establishment operative Karl Rove told him he thought former President George H.W. Bush was “too old” to have good enough judgment to make endorsements on his own.
Penny Nance, the CEO and president of Concerned Women for America, is praising Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s push for a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage in the wake of the Supreme Court rulings that same-sex marriage is constitutional.
In response to Trump’s tough pro-American worker talk, the Mexican government launched various missives at him—including a top official within their government calling his comments “biased and absurd.” Then, Univision—a massive Spanish-language network that broadcasts in the United States and throughout Latin America—announced it would be breaking its contract with the Trump Organization to broadcast Miss USA pageants over the next several years, including including an upcoming event scheduled for July.
Republican presidential candidate and real estate magnate Donald Trump tells Breitbart News exclusively that he has no plans whatsoever to back down in the face of Univision—on behalf of the Mexican government—targeting him after he’s exposed trade deals and immigration problems that benefit Mexico and harm the United States.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s office claims—while refusing to answer questions—that the senator read Obamatrade before voting for cloture on Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) the second time in the Senate.
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal fired up a hometown crowd with his 2016 GOP presidential campaign launch speech, hammering away at liberals like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and at the entire political class on both sides of the aisle.
It’s unclear how things will go for Jindal, but he could be the sleeper candidate who’s waited until just the right time to get off to the races. Watch this guy. He might just do something incredible.
Rubio, a Republican presidential candidate, was the deciding vote necessary for the U.S. Senate to clear the final 60-vote threshold and eventually, later this week, send to President Barack Obama’s desk the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) bill that would fast-track at least three highly secretive trade deals that Obama has been negotiating for years.
“The U.S. Senate has a historic opportunity to fight for America’s workers when ObamaTrade comes to the floor for a vote today,” Huckabee said in a statement provided to Breitbart News.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to run his predecessor’s playbook to block any amendments to the version of TPA that passed the House: the Senate leader will fill the amendment tree so as to keep any other U.S. senators from offering any amendments.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), in the second part of his most recent exclusive interview with Breitbart News on the 2016 presidential race, discussed his most recent book Taking A Stand: Moving Beyond Partisan Politics to Unite America.
It’s time for conservatives to take out House Speaker John Boehner and all of his comrades in primaries, nationally syndicated radio host, New York Times bestselling author, and conservative movement thought leader Mark Levin argues in an exclusive comment to Breitbart News.
Romney’s position differs from the position historically taken by conservatives and Republicans.
Paul said that putting forward a plan like this allows conservatives and Republicans to go straight after Democrats in a legitimate effort to discredit the argument that a bigger federal government is the way to grow the economy and create jobs.
To engage in the complicated procedural chicanery needed to revive the once-dead Obamatrade, bringing its Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) portion back to life, Ryan needed to gut a previous bill that has passed the House and Senate and then insert Obamatrade into it. It’s actually a very similar process to how Obamacare passed the House.
In the final hours before the House votes on a new leadership-concocted scheme to sneak Obamatrade past the American public, it’s been revealed that pro-Obamatrade forces are now aiming to sneak a renewal of the highly controversial Export Import Bank into the deal to secure Senate passage later if the House passes it on Thursday.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) has issued yet another clarion call to House Republicans urging them to abandon GOP leadership’s desperate ploys to bring Obamatrade back to life and instead vote against Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) and stop President Obama from getting even more power in his final years in office.
“I love my company, I love but what I’m doing, but the country is going to hell and we have people that are grossly incompetent—they’re just incompetent—and it’s time that we get a businessman,” Doland Trump says, in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News.
Paul also said he thinks what positions him best against Clinton is that his campaign launch—which started in Kentucky and had four more events in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Iowa then Nevada—was presidential.
So, with all that said, 86 Republicans voted for a tax increase–and to violate Norquist’s pledge–when they voted for TAA last Friday. If they do it again on Tuesday, they’ll be violating it again–and of course if any other Republicans vote for TAA on Tuesday, if there is a vote, they’d be voting to violate Norquist’s pledge as well.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is calling on Republicans in the House—and the grassroots nationwide—to oppose efforts by House Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to revive Obamatrade via a tax increase hidden inside the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) portion of the deal.
NEW YORK CITY, New York — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton re-launched her 2016 presidential campaign on Roosevelt Island in New York City on Saturday, and during the event—and lead-up to it—Clinton showed her presidential campaign’s strength and her resilience as a politician.
House GOP leadership seems to think it will hold another vote on TAA next week, but it’s highly unlikely that enough members from either party would change their votes to support TAA—especially enough Republicans, since TAA is a big government Democratic program—so Obamatrade is technically, not entirely, dead yet.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, defended his decision to vote for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) and Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA)—among other deals—during a Thursday interview with the Hugh Hewitt radio program.
Despite staying largely silent on the issue—he’s quietly supported it for weeks, but hasn’t said anything at all in quite a long time—Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker crossed most conservatives by coming out in support of Obamatrade on Thursday evening in an interview with Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin.
Rep. Russell found himself on the front lines questioning the twisted logic House Republican leadership—particularly Ryan—have put forward to push Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) to fast-track the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) and Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), among other highly secretive trade deals.
Most importantly about this is that the vote passed with less than a majority of the full House of Representatives. Boehner was only able to–on a purely procedural vote–obtain 217, rather than the 218 votes for a majority, votes for the rule. It passed the House 217-212.
Jeff Sessions’ final “critical alert,” one of several he’s issued throughout the Obamatrade process, shows House Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has been engaged in deception as he attempts to guide Obamatrade’s passage through the House.
If Watson steps up to run against Palazzo next year, Palazzo will certainly have his work cut out for him. Obamatrade could be the spark that knocks Palazzo and a whole bunch of other squishy Republicans out of office once and for all.
Approximately 40 House Republicans are on record against the deal, just a few short hours ahead of the vote. GOP leadership is getting steadily more desperate in its attempts to lobby members to support it at the 11th hour.
“Last Wednesday, President Obama said that the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) could be amended after its adoption to add China to the agreement, raising new questions about the powers Congress is ceding to the executive through fast-track approval,” Brooks and Reps. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Walter Jones (R-NC), Ted Yoho (R-FL), and Gary Palmer (R-AL) wrote on Wednesday to Ryan in a letter that was just made public this morning.
Chief Obamatrade proponent House Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) admitted during Congressional testimony on Wednesday evening that despite tons of claims from him and other Obamatrade supporters to the contrary, the process is highly secretive. He also made a gaffe in his House Rules Committee testimony on par with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s push to pass Obamacare, in which she said infamously said: “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”
In the wake of revelations that technically a vote for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) would be a vote to grant the executive branch massively-expanded immigration powers, the Washington establishment cooked up an elaborate ruse to try to save the flailing Obamatrade bill.
There’s no amount of money that will protect any House Republican who supports Obamatrade from primary challenges that may emerge and chase many of them out of office.
It’s quite incredible that Boehner’s team is unable to get their message through to members themselves—and means that essentially the establishment is not even getting their phone calls returned from House Republicans.
In fact, the situation is devolving so rapidly out of control for leadership that at a “Whip Briefing” for legislative staffers on Monday, GOP leadership officials wouldn’t even commit that there will ever be a vote to pass Obamatrade—never mind confirm when.
“I see why they won’t give out her name—at least until the U.S. taxpayer is forced to pay for her nearly half-million dollar treatment,” Coulter said. “If we’re paying, we get her name.”
Despite a clear breakout lead for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in New Hampshire, Granite State primary voters say they don’t like his position on immigration—and are likely to change their votes because of it.
