I am going to be on a phone conference with

Hillary tomorrow. We were supposed to send in our questions two days ago.

My question was: Mitch McConnell said that Congress will not vote on the TPP until there is a new president. (Supposedly that is because of the protections of the tobacco industry that are missing IIRC)

So the chances are you (Hillary) will be that new president. Will you still be opposed to the TPP?

I know no Bernie person will take her at her word but I do.

If she answers my question I will get back to you.

loans and health care.
She has a history of fighting the establishment on health care. She and Bill were trying to get "health care reform" passed before most if us used those words.

If anyone knows how hard it is she does.

"I oppose the TPP as it is presently written, I will be open to supporting a modified version of it." She may or may not be specific about what changes she wants to see.
