(7,393 posts)She voted for trade bills with tiny countries like Chile that would in no way impact workers here. She is very clear as far as I'm concerned. She is not reflexively against trade or an isolationist. She is against trade that harms American workers.
And that has been her 100% consistent statement on trade bills since she entered politics. And she has been very clear that her final assessment of the TPP hinges on that as well. I don't know about you, but that kind of thoughtful decision making is exactly what I want in a president. That's a leader's job by the way.
Given her excellent voting record on trade in the past there is absolutely no objective reason not to believe her. You all consistently claim she on,y says what people want to hear, but in the next breath you claim she isn't giving the knee jerk reaction you appear to crave.
Which is it?
