No, I'm not disputing the report. It's revealing.
You do know that the TPP was largely finished when she left office, right? And yeah, she can't release specific information as the tpp is classified under National Security auspices.
She made a vague mealy mouthed statement that is completely meaningless. And it's LATE to be weighing in on the TPP. The majority of dems in Congress have weighed in- against it; along with many other elected dems.
And how do you know where many independents and purple state voters stand on the issue?
She is a centrist. And these days being a centrist means being to the right more than being a true centrist. The entire equation has shifted to the right.
And cut the "do you want Jeb Bush in the WH" nonsense. Burn that strawman to the ground.
HRC should just have the guts to say she supports it- as she obviously does- and tell us why.
Political leadership? Nope. Political courage? Nope. Just cautious political maneuvering and obfuscating.
