5. Hillary and the TPP

Nov 2015

Lets see, I think she was an enthusiastic backer of the TPP until recently. Spoke in favor of it 34 times, then the debates, where she said she wouldn't support it "as it's currently written."

So does that mean if they change one semi-colon into a colon that she will then support it as President?

Just seems like Academy Award Winning Weasel Words to me......

I wonder what Cabinet positions she'll give to Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Diamon when she wins?
