1. The organizations that care about this issue (like union leadership) actually understand this issue, and her well thought out positions on what it takes to make a good trade agreement. Unions want their stuff sold in other countries too, and like her they understand what makes a good versus bad trade agreement. And union leaders are not stupid. None of you can seem to understand why they endorse her instead of him, but a good portion is that they get that she gets it. Hillary bashers don't get it, whether you don't want to, or for other reasons.
2. Most people (including me and lots of people I know) appreciate that she goes into great detail about the issue instead of the knee jerk Sanders / Warren wing of the party. Contrary to popular belief voters DO like being spoken to like adults who can understand issues. It's an excellent example of why she is often referred to as "the adult in the room."
