My colleagues in the media keep insisting that Hillary Clinton take a position on the proposed free-trade pact that has riven her party. Which is just ridiculous, because she made her position perfectly clear during a swing through New Hampshire last month, when she said: “Any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security.”

Well, there you go. Were you guys just not listening?

Trade deals that help workers and make us safer — check. Trade deals that crush workers and benefit terrorists — thumbs down. No wonder she called her book “Hard Choices.”
