Since we have Bernie, Trump and latecomer Hillary all against the TPP, I wonder how Obama is going to try get it passed in the "dead of night" without having a huge backlash. Senator Jeff Sessions (ALA) came out against it this week and he does have some power/influence. I've read there are many other Repubs against it. Of course there are also many Dems and Repubs still for it..but, will Obama want to do this? I suspect he will, sadly. Its too important to his long time fundraisers for him not to.

Still I try to have some faint hope that this crazy, uncertain election year will put a scare into our Congress and they will defy Obama's wishes.
