In reply to the discussion: Cables Show Hillary Clinton's State Department Deeply Involved in Trans-Pacific Partnership [View all]Triana
(22,666 posts)7. Americans barely knew/know what TPP IS because it had been kept secret for so long.
Media still refuses to cover it. Even most of congress wasn't allowed to see it.
Were were the critics? Distracted and lied to by omission, that's where. Duh.
That Obama is pushing this hideous thing (you support it as long as it's Hillary pushing it I presume) is one of the things he's done that most disappoints me. Clinton shoving NAFTA through was one of the things that most disappointed me about him.
For God's sake don't trip over yourself defending TPP because it's HER.
Seriously?

If it's not a problem why did Hillary run away from these facts during the primary?

Exactly. Why wouldn't the State Department be involved in international trade negotiations?
