In reply to the discussion: Obama allows State Dept. to hold Hillary emails until after election; even CNN is outraged[VIDEO] [View all]Zen Democrat
(5,901 posts)There must also be a significant portion of Democrats supporting Hillary who oppose TPP. Democrats have historically opposed trade deals because they are at the expense of the American workers. Bill Clinton did a bait and switch on Nafta in 1992. He leaned toward opposition until after the election, when he declared for it, and then fought for its passage, with Al Gore, Blue Dog Democrats and all the Republicans at the helm of the Free Trade Parade. We have experienced the results, unfortunately, for 23 years.
It's a big deal if Hillary plans to do the same with TPP. She's unquestionably better than Trump, but the bar is probably the lowest in history. Trump has obvious mental problems. I hope Hillary keeps her word on being against TPP. I'll be voting on that, constitutional rights and the Supreme Court, and trying to save the world we live in from our own ignorance and bad habits. I guess you could say that Obama and Bernie will always have my heart, but Hillary will get my vote in their absence. I'm open for her to grow on me.
And may I recommend that everyone watch Michael Moore's latest movie, Where To Invade Next. Verry entertaining!
