Forget the DU created issues. How does Hillary not have an opinion on TPP?

93. Because I'm a liberal Democrat. I've given labor and money to multiple D campaigns

I've also worked on Capitol Hill and K Street (yes, there are good lobbies there too) so I have some idea of what actually translating good ideas into real policies entails, and I know that just being right isn't enough.

I want the next President to be a Democrat. Excepting the rare Zell Miller types, the letter after his or her name is literally all that matters. A President's personal opinions rarely matter; what matters is which party's apparatchik gets appointed as 2nd Undersecretary of Agriculture for Legume Production or whatever. Presidents mostly make administrative, not policy, decisions (that falls to the apparatchik I mentioned), so I'd like a good administrator. But I'd prefer a bad administrator to a Republican.

You assume that 'liberal' organizations just opposed to the TPP because it increases number and $$$.

The EFF has substantive IP concerns, which are equally valid for our current bilateral agreements. Labor sees a mixed bag (they like being able to sue Mexico under NAFTA and Honduras under CAFTA, and would like to add Malaysia to that). But their job is to organize and fundraise, and this helps them do that. That's not cynical.
