let's now see if Bernie is going to support this. He loses every gain he ever made if he does.

The TPP is a horrid idea. Sanders even says it was a bad idea and he feels the same about NAFTA. We saw what nafta did... Do we want it to happen again?

Yeah Sanders will lose all credibility if he does end up supporting that. A lot of Sanders supporters liked Warren but once she endorsed $hillary we all lost a lot of respect for her. Sanders would be no different, we'd all switch to Stein.

We've already crapped away our manufacturing base. Not much left to crap away anymore. Maybe we can start exporting all our government jobs I guess...

It won't be manufacturing. It will be IT. All the tech jobs here being worked by H1Bs will be offshored, just like manufacturing.

As expected, Clinton continues to support Obama's Free Slave Treaties. What this means for the American workers is less money, longer work hours, less benefits, less job security all while fattening the Swiss bank accounts of the top 1%. This is how she earns her hundreds of millions of dollars in speaking fees.

to what?

Anyway. I can tell no one read the article

Quote:
“The good news is that virtually everyone who spoke during the debate on trade made it clear that they opposed this unfettered free trade agreement,” Mr. Gunnels said in a statement. “Senator Sanders, Secretary Clinton and the overwhelming majority of Democrats agree: The T.P.P. should not come up for a vote after the election. If Democrats are going to prevail in November, we must make clear to the American people that we stand firmly against the T.P.P.”
