Obama's popularity is why Clinton will support TPP. joshcryer Jun 2015 #4

Guess Bernie's low numbers is because he doesn't support TPP. Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #36

You cannot expect a shift until the debates. joshcryer Jun 2015 #40

But you can't say his will be better after the debates, Hillary knows how to handle herself. Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #43

Well, the TPP is supported by a majority of Democrats. Sanders can possibly persuade them Recursion Jun 2015 #98

Hmm... ALL of the Republican senators support TPP, and only 13-14 Democratic senators support it. cascadiance Jun 2015 #102
