51. Sanders is entitled to his opinion and since Sandershas access to information

May 2015

On TPP he can give his opinion. He has a record of voting against trade agreements in the past. Hillary has stated she will make her opinion AFTER the FINAL AGREEMENT is given. I don't read where Sanders has given his stand on ALL issues so he needs to run his campaign without giving stands on all issues and his opponents should be given the same consideration. There has been lots of posts in the last day or so and it has gone overboard because a serious problem was not addressed in Sanders announcement. It is time to cease the demanding of ANY candidate give their stand on all of the issues. Back off with this, the campaigns are just beginning, I just hope this is not going to be a campaign norm.
