House Speaker Ryan: Not enough support for TPP vote
Source: Reuters
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said on Thursday he does not see enough support to bring the Trans-Pacific Partnership up for a vote in the chamber, adding that the Obama administration must do more to persuade lawmakers to accept the trade deal.
"I don't think the votes are there right now because of the concerns about what's in the TPP," Ryan told reporters at his weekly news conference.

They don't like it just because of what's in it. Pfft. How immature.
I wonder how many votes they're will be for TTP then?
