8. I'll be watching to see if she addresses the TPP
Thu Jul 9, 2015, 11:40 PM
Jul 2015

Given her "follow Pelosi" (and cave?) comments, I'll be interested to see what she has to say about the TPP. Will she bring it up? Will she address why she was almost mute on the subject?

My expectations are for a bunch of empty "middle class", "working Americans" platitudes with no detail. It's what she does. We've seen this play over and over ad nauseum. She simply oozes politician speak.

My opinion is that she rarely, if ever, makes the hard choices and, if she does make a choice, they are most often the wrong choices.

Feel free to correct me on the hard choices she personally took the national lead on. Then explain her IWR vote to me.

I'll be glad to listen.

Change my perspective.

It would have been a pleasure to vote in the first female President. Too bad Sen. Warren chose not to run.
