(151,338 posts)than I do. I'm sure she has heard many opinions on the current state of it, but doesn't have access to it. Right now, there is no pressing need for her to comment on the TPP, so she is not doing so. She's not commenting on many other things, either. It is very early in the primary campaign. She's following her campaign strategy, which does not include major policy statements at this time.
As the campaign progresses, she will remark on every important issue. She will do it, though, on her schedule, not in response to pressure from anyone.
Is that a wise decision? I don't know. Her remarks on the Citizens United issue have been pretty clear. In response, her opponents have said what they will say many times: "She doesn't really mean it." We can expect similar comments on anything she says that appears to agree with positions held by some.
In the end, primary voters will decide if she is the candidate. And there it is. She's running her own campaign according to whatever plans she has. I doubt she will alter it much on demand.
