It's what the president wants. By not coming out against the TPP, the platform committee supports it.

Did the Democratic party actually endorse TPP, or is this hypothetical? DanTex Jun 2016 #7

They have neither rebuked, nor endorsed it. mia Jun 2016 #19

Correct. So your OP is hypothetical. The Dems didn't endorse TPP, and I doubt they will. DanTex Jun 2016 #20
