Neither thinks Hillary Clinton is really opposed to the TPP trade deal.

Hillary Clinton has tried to convince Democratic primary voters that she is firmly opposed to the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

But the president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the country's leading business trade group and a proponent of the accord, told Bloomberg News earlier this month that he isn't buying Clinton's public stance. Now Sen. Bernie Sanders is seizing on those comments as a sign that his presidential primary rival can't be counted on to oppose TPP.

Thomas Donohue, head of the business lobby, suggested that Clinton is only opposing TPP to improve her chances against Sanders, who has objected to the deal from the beginning. Clinton would likely revert to her previous support for the agreement if she were elected president, Donohue posited.

"If she were to get nominated, if she were to be elected, I have a hunch that what runs in the family is you get a little practical if you get the job," Donohue said.

So She's lying again?
no, it's just good nature'd Triangulation. Nothing to worry about here.

Now queue the spinsters that want us to believe that the TPP is actually great for us.

1. Yes. And they will add some decorative language to earlier sections of the TPP text

that make it sound better for the 99%; and those will be more than nullified by the rest of the treaty; but it will require everyone to scramble to re-read the dam' thing again and take them a while to figure out how they're screwing us now, and by then the media will have repeated 5 million times that the concerns about the TPP have been addressed; and they'll lead us around this mulberry bush as many times as it takes to get the deal done.

We're going to have to do our homework and persevere regardless of who's Prez; but it's going to be a lot easier with a Prez who'd not in cahoots with the tricksters.

2. Well outside of the health insurance industry they all

ought to support Medicare for All, as it would save them money and get them out of the mess of employment based health insurance.
