why is Obama pushing the TPP? (a theory)
If this is not sealed before the election kicks into high gear, then Hillary will have to explain it. Granted, we know the GOp loves this bill, but because Hillary will be running on her Secretary of State credintials, they will not resist the chance to attack her on this, something a lot more meaty than Bengazi.
Either three things happen:
She gets smart and ditches the mess, which can also be one more slap to Obama, much to the delight of the Pumas still fighting the 2008 war.
She holds onto it, and has to defend it, which opens her up for all sorts of attacks, because, unlike Bengazi, it is pretty hard to say you had no idea this was being talked about. It will also open her up to all those juicy "public speaking fees" Bill collected as president while she was Sec of State, from places like our old firends in Saudi Arabia.
OR, the worst case scanrio, she spoends the whole campaign wiffling and waffling, speaking so that you can nbever be sure iof she is for or against. Democrats that wiffle and waffle are of course, the candidates that get whopped, because, as Bill himself said, Americans prefer "strong and wrong to right and light." This of course hands the campaign over to the masters of strong and wrong, the GOP, who consider wrong to be a form OF strong.
So, the striong scenario is for this to be passed, so Obama can get praised if itworks, but more likely, blamed when it does not work, and Hillary can continue her theme of "I would have done this so much better then Obama" meme, even though a lot of those things she would have done better include starting mid east wars and exporting jobs.
