9. Is it a done deal?

We've experienced a pattern of progressive issues giving way to endless amounts of corporate cash for a pretty long time...Now we have a Democratic President teaming up with the most extreme RW Republican party in modern to push through a bill that seems like the antithesis of what the party once stood for and the public isn't even allowed to see it... How much farther to the right can the Democratic party shift and still survive?

The more information leaked about the TPP more and more people are expressing resistance. And not just in this country. There's got to be a tipping point somewhere...
