Clinton planned to deliver a policy address Friday in Detroit outlining ways to remove economic bar
Great to see this. So sick of Sanders bashing Hillary all the time. -esp. when he has no plan of his own--just rhetoric!! (like the fact that he still has no foreign policy plan)!
And -- "Clinton's campaign, meanwhile, is trying to undercut Sanders' credentials on the economy, accusing the senator of failing to produce a detailed plan to promote manufacturing."
Trade, manufacturing at forefront of Clinton-Sanders race

DETROIT (AP) — Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are putting the global economy at the center of their pitch to Democrats, trading charges about who would best represent American workers as their presidential campaign shifts to a series of Rust Belt primaries.
Clinton planned to deliver a policy address Friday in Detroit outlining ways to remove economic barriers for families, giving her the opportunity to respond to Sanders, who has accused her of supporting trade deals that have had "disastrous" consequences for workers.

Trailing Clinton in the chase for delegates, Sanders ratcheted up his criticism of her past support for trade deals, including the North American Free Trade Agreement and normalizing trade relations with China. Both were signed by President Bill Clinton while she was first lady.
"She was very, very wrong and millions of families around this country have been suffering as a result of those disastrous trade agreements," Sanders said in Lansing, Michigan, where he was joined by union workers at a news conference.
The senator has also sought to elevate Clinton's history with the Trans Pacific Partnership, which she once called the "gold standard" while serving as Obama's secretary of state. After it was negotiated, Clinton announced her opposition to it last year, saying the final agreement didn't address her concerns about jobs, wages and national security.
In a new ad in Michigan, Sanders says that only one presidential candidate has fought trade deals "while others waffle."
In a conference call with reporters, Clinton policy adviser Jake Sullivan said Clinton has long supported updating NAFTA. And when she evaluated the final details of the TPP pact, Sullivan said "she concluded immediately that it wasn't up to snuff. So there was no pause in that — no change."
Clinton's campaign, meanwhile, is trying to undercut Sanders' credentials on the economy, accusing the senator of failing to produce a detailed plan to promote manufacturing. They also point to his past opposition to the federal Export-Import Bank, which makes and guarantees loans to help foreign customers buy U.S. goods.
"In his years in Congress, he has been AWOL when it comes to putting forward proposals that would lift up American manufacturers," Sullivan said................

It is gutless. It is pandering to the misconceptions of a local or regional base. It is short-sighted. It is protectionist isolationism in a global economic system. It is so last century. It is a disservice to the future of America.
But no Democrat can go wrong opposing trade deals.
Next we'll be opposing robots and technology? 
This place really hates Democrats like Bill and Barack, not to mention 'you know who.'
The best thing to happen for Bernie is to lose - then he'll be a legend forever!
