In the best interest of the American Workers

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, backed Pelosi's approach to the trade deal during a Sunday speech in Iowa. Clinton said that if the president can't come to terms with House Democratic leader, there should be no deal.

"Here's what I think should happen now," Clinton said. "The president should listen to and work with his allies in Congress, starting with Nancy Pelosi, who have expressed their concerns about the impact that a weak agreement would have on our workers, to make sure we get the best, strongest deal possible and if we don't get it, there should be no deal."

Earnest dismissed the idea that Clinton was out of step with the White House push on trade.

"I think what Secretary Clinton articulated over the weekend is a view that she is neither reflexively in favor of trade agreements nor reflexively against them," said the White House spokesman. "She indicated that her test would be to examine an agreement and determine whether or not it was in the best interest of our national security, and to determine whether or not it was in the best interest of American workers."

The GOP and the President keep forgetting this concept!

1. She still favors the TPP

She has yet to confirm she's against the whole deal. Unlike Bernie Sanders.

2. Trade deals are not necessarily bad. TPP is just a bad trade deal for the average American

The idea of a trade deal is not bad. The idea of negotiating away the rights of Americans in secret is the flaw with TPP.

3. Trade deals are important to us.

They help in leveling the playing field with other nations. IN WA state 40% of our work force is tied to international trade. I good trade deal would be valuable.

But, it must be a good deal for workers and for our environment.

The idea that we should not have a trade deal at all is incomprehensible. I assume Sanders does not believe there should be no international trade deals...but one that is negotiated and protective of our concerns.

Clinton is exactly correct on this issue.
