2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Clinton supporters: are you maintaining your principled support for TPP? [View all]It is being used as a tool for anti-Obama people, and they wanted to use it as a tool against Hillary.
It did not sound to me like she is opposing it the same way - she is having issues with parts of it, and is likely not against the very concept of trade agreements, as some of these opponents are (without having any answer for what to do if we can't trade with other nations).
