In reply to the discussion: 45 times Secretary Clinton pushed the trade bill she now opposes (TPP) [View all]yallerdawg

This is the media-driven conflict and destructive meme - the red meat for the haters and 'anyone buts.'
If a rational, open-minded, fair person looks through all 45 'quotes' they will plainly see Hillary is promoting a positive aspirational progressive partnership with a number of countries for the benefit of our combined futures. She repeatedly promotes enforceable labor standards, worker rights, environmental standards, women's rights, and American jobs and security as a condition of support for TPP!
But who is actually going to look at 45 'quotes'? Or look at the context or the full discussion?
She did not "write" the TPP trade deal. She did not ever sign off on a finalized TPP trade deal. She continually points out TPP is being negotiated, and we should see the TPP deal before we say yes or no on it.
And see? It doesn't matter what answer Hillary gives. Any answer will fit the negative narrative the media and the haters want to create.
No -she's a flip-flopper.
Yes - she's a right-wing corporatist Turd Way DINO.
"Lets reserve judgment until we see what is actually in the finalized agreement" -this OP and thread.
