Dennis otoh, would be welcome here as I do know his stand on the most important issues.
The fact that a state needs foreign trade has little to do with THIS Secret deal, which clearly the people of Washington have no clue about.
It's very difficult for intelligent people to be excited about something they now nothing about. Especially considering the leaks we HAVE seen do not bode well for the American working class, for our environmental issues or for net neutrality and as Democrats who have proven themselves to be trustworthy and voted AGAINST this mysterious agreement, have told that 'if the people knew what is in it, they would oppose it'.
We were told, eg, that there would be no job losses, yet they contradicted themselves when they added a bill to HELP THOSE WHO WOULD BE DISPLACED.
I don't know about you, but when I feel people are HIDING things from me, I know there is a reason for that. And when they tell me one thing, then prove it wasn't true THEMSELVES, frankly I don't trust a word they tell me after that.
So how is this secret deal going to help the people of Washington?
