All of the eleven " free" trade agreements on which Congress has voted since 2001 enjoyed the near-unanimous support of House Republicans, who backed ratification more than 91 percent of the time.

Also, they bailed out Obama in passing fast track against Democratic resistance.

Everybody in Washington love them some Corporate "free" trade agreements.

And if Hillary will complete the TPP, why isn't she campaigning on that issue?
