Hillary dances around on the TPP because she doesn't have the gumption to make a hard choice on it. At least publicly. And she's been all over the map on trade. She tailors what she says to the given situation/time.

Absent any position and judging from her history, it's damn fucking safe to say she supports it.

The ultimate corporately connected politician as populist.

It's contemptible and cynical and there are lots of "trust" democrats to play bobblehead.
