103. Exactly! Hillary might want to work with Republicans to pass TPP! Bernie proudly won't!

... when he's representing people and not the corporate people, who Hillary is just as likely to go the route of Obama in redefining her campaign statements on what she actually does with Free Trade stuff the way Obama did with his nebulous "promises" to "renegotiate NAFTA", leaving out the part that he wanted to put NAFTA on steroids to work with Republicans to throw away American jobs and our the sovereignty of our government to corporate America the way they have been paying corporate Dems and Republicans to do for them.

And following even Reagan's better record of prosecuting bankster crooks from the Savings and Loan era would be better than Obama's justice department which Jamie Dymond's laughing at along his way to the bank with his bucket loads of fraud money that he's thrown a few over to the side to pay his fines that don't bother him one bit. Holder's back working for those he was really working for as the pseudo AG where he really worked more for Wall Street's benefit than Americans.
