John Nichols should know this...I think he's trying to box HRC in, just as Elizabeth Warren did.

HRC can't come out against it because she'll tick off Wall Street and her corporate donors.

HRC can't come out for it because it will tick off the unions and people who have to work for a living.

Yes. It's very easy to say that things should be better for the 99%, but it's quite another to be rhett o rick Apr 2015 #5

More then 'come out against it'..... daleanime Apr 2015 #4

Id be shocked if Hillary rails against fast track authority, but then maybe her pollsters and political consultants will convince her to do it. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #6

I see her spouting rhetoric about how important it is for the agreement rhett o rick Apr 2015 #11

The TPP is sacred to the corporatist. I cannot imagine HRC saying a word against fast track. Enthusiast Apr 2015 #13

You and me both. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #14

I agree. She must speak up. Our failure to support TPP is not because we don't understand it. Enthusiast Apr 2015 #12
