With each passing day, odds of Congress passing the TPP before November,

grow slimmer.

Both Trump and HRC are on the record as opposing it.

So what happens if Obama and Froman can't get it passed before the election? (and I can't see it passing between November and inauguration day).

I think it likely that if HRC wins, she'll push it, saying that "changes" to the agreement have made it a positive pact. I don't know her position on the TTIP, but my guess is that she'll support that as well.
