Showing Original Post only (View all)Paging Hillary Clinton: this Democrat has a question for you. [View all]
If you were still in the Senate, would you vote Yea or Nay for TPP?Thus far, Hillary Clinton has been incredibly vague regarding this incredibly critical piece of legislation. TPP could be the last nail in the coffin of the American middle class, and is pitting Democrats (including President Obama) against each other - and she has said very little - what she has said doesn't make her position clear:

Now she's comparing herself to Roosevelt, wanting us believe she's progressive with foreign policy chops. She'll have to do a whole lot better than that to make the comparison believable.
I want to know how she would vote on TPP. I think every Democrat deserves to know before deciding to vote for her in the primary.

Bah. This is unimportant crap. The important issue of the day is how awesome the logo is.

It doesn't matter how she answers, you still won't vote for her so why bother?

Comparing herself to Roosevelt? Please. As far as the TPP, she helped negotiate it.
