or she can spew all kinds of pseudo-populist BS to lead unwary voters to believe that she is against the TPP, without ever explicitly coming out against it. But at the end of the day, all you need to do is look at who is paying her speaking fees, and who is making the political donations to her campaign. Enough said!

The bottom line is that Bernie Sanders is the only REAL candidate for America, and ALL the people in our country. And if the American people really wake up and smell the roses, and take a good look at what's going on, and how both parties are lying through their teeth to the American voter, and screwing them left and right, there is NO real alternative for them BUT to vote for Bernie Sanders! Everything else that's going on in the 2016 presidential race is nothing but a big smokescreen, a big charade, designed to fool the American voter.

I'm glad to see him out there discussing issues in a frank and clear manner, no doublespeak, no dishonesty, no bullshit, in a manner that the other preselected candidates will not be able to match. Is America awake enough? I hope so.

I don't see how a anyone who is a candidate for President can avoid expressing an opinion on a major trade agreement that is being hotly debated in congress and expects to be taken seriously.
