Too bad it is all a pipe dream on the part of Repubs, a firm grasp on reality has never been a major talent among Repubs so most expect nothing else.

Frankly, when 3/4ths of the treaty doesn't deal with trade can it still be called a trade treaty? Most of it deals with removing American sovereignty and subjecting us to the desire/whims of foreign courts and foreign bodies which have their own agendas. It is not something I could support even if they falsely call it a trade treaty.
Ain't it amazing, the Cons whine that they really do care about American workers while out of the other side of their mouth they support removing the system that protects workers from bad business practices, only the sheeple do not understand that they are nothing more than pawns being used.
