Bernie Sanders 'Disappointed' By Trans-Pacific Partnership Deal
"Wall Street and other big corporations have won again."
U.S. Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said he was disappointed by the Trans-Pacific Partnership Pacific trade deal reached on Monday, saying the pact would cost U.S. jobs and hurt consumers.
"Wall Street and other big corporations have won again," the U.S. senator from Vermont said in a statement, vowing to "do all that I can to defeat this agreement" in Congress.

Wall Street and other big corporations have won again,” Sanders said.
“It is time for the rest of us to stop letting multi-national corporations rig the system to pad their profits at our expense.”
Sanders says the agreement follows other trade deals with “Mexico, China and other low-wage countries that have cost millions of jobs and shuttered tens of thousands of factories across the United States.”
“In the Senate, I will do all that I can to defeat this agreement,” he said.
“We need trade policies that benefit American workers and consumers, not just the CEOs of large multi-national corporations.”

There's strong resistance to this 'trade' deal in many of the participating countries, even if 'approved' we will find a way to break it.
You're like Bernie, dejean, you tell it like it is. 
Djean, you're better than brave; you're adventurous! (Wonder if Bernie is adventurous?) I checked out glass-floored villas in Bora-Bora and got a vicarious spell of vertigo just gazing at them. Yes, they are extremely pretty with the turquoise water underneath, but I think it would take a very bright, free spirit to want to spend time in one.
I've come to think of bliss as an internal state elicited in moments of beauty, harmony, and connection (music, poetry, nature, contemplation, etc.) but the idea of looking around for blissful places to visit seems like an intriguing (and adventurous) way to put together a vacation trip. Thanks for the idea! Sorta sounds like you could be an ESTJ, or maybe ISTJ, on the Myers Briggs. Just a guess based on very little information. 
to paste on Obama's legacy. 
This is not even CLOSE to what used to be Democratic principles. Black president or corporate Trojan horse - what'll be his crown?
the same sorta pressure Hillary is setting herself up for. We fell for "hope and change" . The change is gonna be evident once TPP is in place. The only "hope" I see is that Bernie manages to pull along enough dem legislators to end the tyranny of this miserable eight years. And, no I didn't mis-type. It's not six years - it's eight. There was the two years this administration SQUANDERED while they tried to erect a facade of nicey-nice with their opposition.
The final, fecal, in-your-face "accomplishment" is going to be this trade sellout. With SO MUCH corporate candy to be harvested, I doubt it can be side-tracked. In fact, it's probably one of - if not THE main - reason Boehner's sticking around for a few more weeks. So he can go out on an achievement as a feather in his cap.
We don't have representation. All we have are Special Interests dream teams we can cheer for as entertainment. 
this is totally outrageous, it's like, and it's already been proven, they just don't care-----------------------
And in the house they are going to give what, 2 minute speeches, I really don't know, but this will show just how mush these hypocrites think of us, 2 whole minutes or more of outrageous BS after the ninety day review.
over 60 % of the people don't and didn't like this "deal" anywhere, Canada, Australia, US for example.
It's like know one listened--------------and they didn't--------------except to get paid off with more bribe money
This "deal" started under Bush and finished with the current administration is just amazing, I feel that I have been at a snooker table, 
Now what do you call this country Novocaine, or how about Citigroup U.S.
It like this new book that's out , there is a correlation:

Honk-------------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016
another Third Way Presidential candidate in the GE, and not beat filled with self loathing for the rest of my life for doing so?
I can't do it.
I. Just. Fucking. Cannot. Do it.
seems like a selection not an election.This is why Wall street does not care if it is a Bush or Clinton.If the TPP is delayed further into the next Presidency they sure do not want Bernie as Poutus.
