How TAA, TPA and TPP turned today into BHO's worst day in DC.http://www.vox.com/2015/6/12/8774391/barack-obama-trade-tpp-congress …
@allabouthonesty but the TPA measure doesn't actually pass because of the way the rule is structured.

@jonallendc the bill is only blocked it is not lost -
@jonallendc so it would behoove you to report those facts and not call it a defeat b/c it is hardly that -
@allabouthonesty when the president pleads with members of his own caucus to vote for something and 40 out of 184 do, that's a defeat. -
@jonallendc nope, procedural-they want a jobs bills,they will get it and you know it-they gave him fast track-jobs bill for the aid measure

@jonallendc the fast track measure passed not the aid - so you are telling a falsehood when you say he didn't get fast track- he did -
@allabouthonesty but the rule requires passage of all three inter-related measures for any to count. -
@jonallendc and it is only blocked it did not fail so all is not lost for the President as you know
