Pelosi has been shut out of new TPP negotiations by the White House and House Republican leadership

41. She was told in plain English: her job is on the line.

So at the very last possible minute she broke to the left.

But I don't trust this process: I believe it'll be worked out, behind the scenes, that JUST ENOUGH Dems vote with the Republicans - AGAIN - to get the most right-wing program in history passed. The right-wing has whip control of such important votes. The left-wing whip controls it so just enough cross the floor, every time, EVERY TIME, to pass the right-wing agenda. The left wing has an anti-whip. History proves it so clearly it can't be doubted.

I wish I were wrong, but I can't think of any evidence to support hope - not until the Third-Way is totally ousted. They are right-wing through and through and have no loyalty to anything but the MIC and big corporate/investment-capital money. And they hold the positions of Dem party power - while "the left" and "the progressive caucus" etc are quite literally laughed at.
