So, Hillary Clinton, you've just come out in opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Respectfully, Madam Secretary, I don't believe a single word of this. I think this is pure politics, caused by having Sen. Sanders nipping at your heels from the left.

...
Anyway, you've obviously been spooked. And now you have to shore up your credibility with your liberal base by opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Which in large part you negotiated, when you were Obama's Secretary of State. You think the public doesn't realize that your fingerprints are all over this thing? What do people think the Secretary of State does, for heaven's sake? Negotiate the nation's treaties, among other things. And you were the good soldier, plugging away at this agreement, for years and years before you suddenly didn't like it.

4. They'll interrupt her spontaneity practice. [n/t]

2. You wanna she should do a pinky swear? Maybe all the candidates should do pinky swears to be

"trusted".

Some intellectual honesty would be nice....folks who do not trust her or him or them, naturally then they do not believe anything she or he or them says and so that is that.

I get it. We all get it.

The fact that Clinton wanting to know the details of the comprehensive agreement before fully committing to a major trade treaty is what a prohibitive favorite for actually having the power to have their Yea or Nay mean anything is the adult thing to do.

That is what I get.

10. A little consistency is all we ask for

Let me guess you were vehemently pro-ambiguity on the TPP 48 hours ago, right?

[Fred Sanders]

11. So....you would be happier if she was "consistent" in not opposing? That makes no sense!

And have you got an election calendar handy?

3. I don't think she said she opposed it, only that the final version doesn't meet her standards.

[NorthCarolina]

5. Nobody believes it.

I'll bet even her staunch supporters doubt the sincerity in that one.

6. One would hope.........n/t

7. Nobody believes it. Nobody. It's laughable. This is a PR disaster of epic proportions.

8. Not only does she not oppose it but she said so: "With what

I know today" was the qualifier in her statement.

9. Were her lips moving?

Seems to be a tell.
