My thought too. -none Jun 2016 #42

No. n/t pnwmom Jun 2016 #5

Congress will probably pass TPP in the lame duck session amid silence from HRC. Eric J in MN Jun 2016 #6

Now that's a right wing trope if ever I heard one. annavictorious Jun 2016 #28

Pres. Obama is right wing? QC Jun 2016 #40

What kind of person does that? <<<< LOLOL, you walked right into that one! AntiBank Jun 2016 #67

Well, let's look at history to see if this is possible. Matt_in_STL Jun 2016 #13

The Question is... kadaholo Jun 2016 #14

Yes eom Arazi Jun 2016 #15

She'll ignore it in the election and then quietly support it Armstead Jun 2016 #16

I hope Trump makes it impossible for her to ignore it during general election nt 99th_Monkey Jun 2016 #19

Sounds like you are rooting for Trump auntpurl Jun 2016 #71

No I am vehemently opposed to the TPP, at any cost. 99th_Monkey Jun 2016 #87

You mean like what Sanders did in 2009 with his broken promises on health care reform? annavictorious Jun 2016 #33

Are you kidding? Probably not, and it's not worth my time glowing Jun 2016 #37

What planet are you from? Armstead Jun 2016 #57

BS - He was on the HELP committee and he got the community health centers karynnj Jun 2016 #82

exactly Locrian Jun 2016 #56

Sure she will. Shemp Howard Jun 2016 #18

Very doubtful. I just hope she does not disparage ALL international agreements the way Trump does. pampango Jun 2016 #20

She is an old school politician RobertEarl Jun 2016 #21

She has NOT said she opposed the TPP elljay Jun 2016 #22

This is an interesting take I'm surprised I haven't heard more of. SpareribSP Jun 2016 #70

I am an attorney elljay Jun 2016 #74

Yes rickford66 Jun 2016 #23

I am not certain of her current position on the matter. Juicy_Bellows Jun 2016 #24

I think she'll announce some tweaks that marginally improve it and then support it. n/t femmedem Jun 2016 #32

Yes. With Obama recently pushing it again, and then endorsing HRC, she'll flip positions. panader0 Jun 2016 #35

yes Red Mountain Jun 2016 #36

The one thing I do believe about HRC felix_numinous Jun 2016 #38

Define switching positions. Did she ever really switch from her orginial position? Skwmom Jun 2016 #41

switch? azurnoir Jun 2016 #43

no Florencenj2point0 Jun 2016 #44

Nope. She is not in favor as it stands. n/t Lucinda Jun 2016 #45

She probably hopes that it passes and Obama signs it. JustABozoOnThisBus Jun 2016 #46

It's hard to say gollygee Jun 2016 #47

Whtever she says, I doubt she'll work to kill it Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #48

absolutely swhisper1 Jun 2016 #68

Do bears shit in the woods? Cobalt Violet Jun 2016 #69

Yes, and she should publicly defend President Obama's trade agenda against Trumpian lies. tritsofme Jun 2016 #72

You mean continue trianglating? Orsino Jun 2016 #73

Switch positions? 99Forever Jun 2016 #75

She supports it. She did when she was SOS, she did when she left office, and she does now. onecaliberal Jun 2016 #76

It's "the Gold Standard" of trade agreements! -nt- NorthCarolina Jun 2016 #77

Yep. Affirmative. It is how she rolls. Big Business seems to agree. nt stillwaiting Jun 2016 #79
