Jeb Bush knocks Hillary Clinton’s wavering on trade deal

Presumed Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is sharply criticizing former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton for wavering in her support of President Obama's major trade deal that is gaining bipartisan support in Congress.

Bush has repeatedly expressed support for the trade pact with Asian-Pacific countries that the Obama administration is negotiating and supports a bipartisan plan to give the president special "fast track" authority to complete the deal.

Clinton, however, hedged when asked this week whether she supports the deal, telling reporters in New Hampshire that “any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security."

Her comments sought to place her between the pro-business and pro-labor wings of the Democratic Party, which have been feuding for months over whether Obama should be granted special authorities to finish the deal -- or whether any such deal could be detrimental to American job growth....

1. If a Bush thinks it's good, Secretary Clinton should automatically understand that it is

tragically wrong for the people of the US, and the rest of the planet as well.

5. Indeed. In fact the article states the TPP is almost unanimously supported by GOP prez candidates /n

2. Hilary's such a triangulating coward... and for anyone doubting as to whether or not TPP is even the

tiniest bit good for the 99%, just look at its supporters: Bush, Ryan, McConnell...

4. Cowards don't do what Hillary has in her life.

You have no clue as to the meaning of the word. Many would say sitting behind a keyboard calling others cowards is an act of cowardice itself. Not sure I full agree with that but I can see how it would have merit.

[AzDar]

8. You have NO idea about me, or my life...so perhaps YOU should turn away from your

keyboard and take a long, calming gaze into a mirror. Perhaps then you may be able to see the triangulating, Corporatist, hawkish-when-it-suits her, fence-sitting politician (whom did not ever come under fire in Bosnia btw ) candidate before you.

11. I only know you from what you type.

My thoughts are accurate and you have backed them up. No need to tell me what to do. I understand the power some feel when typing on an anonymous board. See my previous post. Thanks.

[AzDar]

13. I have backed up your ramblings? I can only guess that you mean because your post was flagged

by someone else? Fascinating. Again... you know nothing of me or my life, but if you resort to ad hominem attacks due to an opinion regarding a very well known public figure on a political forum, others may see this and call out your glaring hypocrisy.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling another DUer a coward. Name-calling, personal attack. Don't be swayed by the "many would say..." schtick. NCTraveler is trying to insult and avoid a hide. Give them the HIDE they deserve.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Apr 22, 2015, 03:21 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Don't agree with NCTraveler here, however if s/he was trying to insult someone without doing so openly, to avoid a hide, could we use their own logic to say 'some might call that cowardly, just take the hide and say what you really want to say'?? Lol ...

Anyhow, not hide worthy imo.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

[NCTraveler]

3. Jebbie has a sad.

The country loves Clinton. Bush, not so much.

[bunnies]

6. She put the ball on the T for them.

Of course they swing.

12. this vividly illustrates the position Hillary has placed herself in

[Autumn]

14. Has she wavered? Has she said anything about the TPP or fasttrack?

Jeb is of course for it. And of course “any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security." That's a given but has she said anything at all about the TPP or fast track?
