...and once the committees start considering it they have 45 days to look at it, then regardless of their recommendation it will go to the floor for up to 20 hours of debate followed by an up-or-down vote

Good, it should not pass.

That would be excellent.

I bet Obama is waiting until near the end of those 60 days so that around half the states will have voted in the primary. A TPP vote would not be helpful for Hillary.

Let's hope TTIP will also be DOA.

TISA seems to be the worst of the 3.

That would be excellent.

Agreed, this is one of the few issues were the Conservative Republican and Progressive Democrat bases agree.

Well over 50% of Americans (of all political ideologies) oppose the TPP, so theirs that.

Ryan is probably trolling for strategic reasons. TPP will pass.

Well, in that case I see votes on this tracking similar to the 2008 bailout and 2011 debt deal. Far left and far right voting no but it still gets enough votes from everyone else to pass.

Let's suppose the Republican-led Congress fails to ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership -what are the possible ramifications, and would any of them bother those of you who oppose this trade agreement?
