She has three options:

She can come out pro-business and support the pro-business (Republican lite) wing of the Democratic Party.

She can follow her conscience instead of her donors and come out against an agreement that would hurt both American jobs and the world's environment. This is the populist position.

OR

She can waffle and avoid answering the question.

The pro-business and waffling options will lose her the election. The populist position will win.
