You clueless Warren lovers don't get it.......... [View all]

Warren HAS NOT seen the final TPP agreement. So she has NO RIGHT to criticize it! She has no idea what the final agreement will be so the stuff she has read means NOTHING!!!

But Obama, who has the read the same agreement, can 100% support it even though it is not final.

So it is THIS SIMPLE. If you read the preliminary TPP agreement and disagree with it then you're wrong because it is not final. But if you read the preliminary TPP agreement and agree with it then that is 100% OK.

Understand now??????

Carry on!!!
