In reply to the discussion: HRC was critical of TPP before it was cool [View all]MaggieD
(7,393 posts)99. Is that what you call these links?
Because here is what you got:
1. HRC's role in the TPP was the same as every SoS in a potential U.S. trade pact. No more, no less. It's an international negotiation.
2. It's not ""Hillary's" TPP, and a post by someone else who claims that doesn't make that so.
3. Yeah, that's what she has said is wrong with it - it will hurt US workers. I think that is exactly the same reason she voted against CAFTA in 2005.

Nice to see you're finally (albeit implicitly) conceding the "gold standard" quotation.

That is bullshit. She doesn't have to criticize the President. It's about policy not personalities

Yeah, who was the Secretary of State who was negotiating the TPP from 2009 to 2013?

"evolving" the HRC campaign talking points "to the left" requires a lot of revisionism.

Notice that your defense of Hillary is completely inconsistent with the OP's defense of Hillary.

Unlike her vote on the Iraq War Resolution, she has not said she made a mistake.
