One of the most important and centrist (code for corporate-friendly) think tanks in the Democratic Party ecosystem is the Center for American Progress, or CAP. They do some good work, and their associated Web group, ThinkProgress, does excellent work. But when it comes time to put their money where Moneys mouth is for example, to
support cuts to Social Security and Medicare CAP is on the anti-progressive side, and reliably so.
CAP is strongly connected to the Clinton ecosystem as well as the party ecosystem. CAP was
founded by John Podesta, Bill Clintons former chief of staff. Hes now chair of the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign. The current president of CAP is Neera Tanden, who worked for the Obama and Clinton administrations, and also on the
2008 Hillary Clinton campaign. With $40 million in 2013 revenue, CAP and those associated with it stand at or near the center of the center of mainstream Democratic politics.

plenty more elsewhere), there is no way Hillary Clinton is not a strong supporter of TPP and Fast Track.
