Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHas Obama offered anything to the Democrats he's trying to flip?
Or, have the Democrats demanded anything from Republicans or Obama for voting for the trade bill?
Seems that if they are going to have to accept this thing, a higher minimum wage or infrastructure bill would be a nice get.

The fact some sort of bone isn't being discussed lends itself to the thought he believes it will pass. K&R.

Although it does contain four letters and begin with "f".

(14,255 posts)7. I mentioned this elsewhere here at DU - if any Democrats think that the solution to getting people
who are angry about their YES vote on Fast Track/TPP is to have the TPP-Pusher-in-Chief campaign for them - dumbfucks.
They better go for the Dinner and Drinks with My Friend Jamie option. Maybe Obama is just going to help them find jobs at Goldman-Sachs.
