(150,413 posts)was roundly damned for not getting single payer. Never mind that millions had new access to health insurance. Never mind that preexisting conditions could no longer prevent someone from getting insurance. Never mind any of that. Many called ACA a total failure and blamed President Obama, despite the impossibility of getting anything like single payer during his administration.
As for the TPP, it is not one of my major issues. Obama's for it. Others oppose it. It's not an area where I have that much expertise, really and, despite my intentions, I have not read the entire thing. Hillary opposes it. She's been clear about that on many occasions. As for her emails and foundation, I see nothing to condemn there. Her emails were not hacked and the foundation does tremendous good on a global basis.
I disagree with her vote on the Iraq War and she has been apologizing for that long-ago decision for a long time. She made that vote in a very difficult time, and was joined in it by many Democrats. She says it was a mistake. I've made mistakes, myself, and don't know anyone who hasn't. She wouldn't vote that way again in those circumstances. She has said that, too.
Look at what she is proposing on the Issues page of hillaryclinton.com. Look at that and tell me what you find wrong in it. That's the future. I look forward, not backward, frankly.
