In reply to the discussion: When President Sanders negotiates a trade deal, should he be given the authority Pres. Obama is [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)22. Do you really want to play the "Who's the biggest asshole" game?
When did Rahm Emmanuel vote on the TPP, hmmmmm?
He's a STATE governor. He has nothing to do with national politics, and hasn't for some time.
