the wind must be blowing against TPP....perhaps we have reached a critical mass of objection and this thing can be stopped.

I will give her credit for making the right decision here, but my vote is going to the guy I never doubted.

New Stuff Alert:

Already seeing post responses about how as SOS, she actually worked on and in favor of TPP...so now..political opportunism or a real change of heart?

So Bernie can draw this contrast about how he was for causes like gay marriage 32 years ago vs her 'evolving' time and time again on issues like this one. He can even say nice things about her decision to take this position now, BUT....

IMHO this is going to backfire on her because THIS is exactly the thing that Progressive Democrats hate about her, her waiting to "come out" on issues only once a critical mass has been reached. That is not the sign of a leader, it's the sign of a follower. I want a LEADER for President.

I predict this will only serve to drive her polling numbers down further mostly because I don't think many people actually buy or trust her current position.
