In reply to the discussion: The manufactured outrage that purports to be legitimate criticism of Hillary is pathetic [View all]Savannahmann
(3,891 posts)Because of her staunch and long support of Free Trade agreements like NAFTA which the AFLCIO says cost about one million agricultural jobs? The AFL-CIO is pointing out that Senator Wyden, who is pretty popular in his state, faces defeat at the polls if he supports TPP. http://www.aflcio.org/Blog/Political-Action-Legislation/Poll-Shows-Voters-Will-Hold-Lawmakers-Accountable-for-Fast-Track-Support
So a better question is this. Do we think that the Unions will support another Free Trade candidate? How will the members vote? Will they turn out and vote so that a Woman has her right to choose defended? Do you think that the Union members will turn out and donate time and cash and vote on election day for Gay Marriage while their jobs are sent overseas? I might be wrong, but I don't think they are going to get real enthusiastic about supporting Hillary.
Now, here is an issue, and the position warning Senator Wyden that his re-election chances would be better if he did not support the TPP. Is that an issue, a position that worries you?
Because if it isn't, if you are going to argue the Republicans have the same issue. Then you've reduced the election down to Choice, and Gay Marriage. In that case I'd like to take a moment and remind you how well War on Women worked for the Democrats in 2014. How will War on Women win us the White House? Just out of Curiosity.
Shall I continue to post issues that I think handicap Hillary to the extent that she can't win the election? Nah, you're grasping at straws to try and gin up more Hillary support.
