21. IT's NOT OVER YET.

What don't you understand about that? There is nothing to be "accountable" for since the TPP is still unfinished. There is in fact time to fix or stop it, which you have done ZERO towards while you make arguments based on one Businessweek article? Do you even understand how trade policy is made in the Administration? If so, you do get that it's not made by the State Department or by the Secretary of State, right?

Blame ≠ accountability. What don't you get about that? Are you suing her? Pressing criminal charges? Campaigning for her non-reelection to a non-elected position that she doesn't even hold anymore?

What exactly are you doing to "hold her accountable" for President Obama's bad trade policies other than blamestorming all over DU? I'm dying to find out.
