TPP will allow us to sell more stuff to Asian countries. You guys talk about trade deficit but when there is a bill that will help fix that you want it struck down.

The low skill jobs may move overseas, but the high skill jobs will come here. Why do you think Faraday Future (Chinese) start their operations on our west coast?

Most Democrats are against it. She's a Democrat.

Most Republicans are for it. Just in case you're not aware.

Trump makes his money by conning guillible people. He can't run an airline or a mortgage company, but somehow he can run a country? Give me a break. He is not even a good at that he does now and will go down as the worst president ever if he is elected. Which, he won't.

I don't care about other Republicans - Trump is adamantly against the TPP and that is one of the major reasons the man has my vote.

Who knows what Hillary is for - she changes her mind so often you can't keep up.

No one sees the hypocrisy? Sure they do.

Warren Buffet, the poster boy for corporate greed, sucking money from the poor to funnel into his own pockets. The new spokesman for the democrat party.
Anyone with a brain sees what's going on.....anyone without a brain, hopefully they can purchase one in the next 98 days.

Both candidates are against the TPP. Do you really think Trump knows any details contained in the TPP? What makes you think that he won't change his mind as he did so many times?

Moreover, TPP isn't the ogre that candidates make it seem. Protectionism isn't the only way to fight that downward pressure. In fact, many of the bad things we associate with globalization in America were political choices, not necessary consequences-- and they didn’t happen in other advanced countries, even though those countries faced the same global forces we did.

Even one of Hillary's closest advisors said she was going to flip flop on the TPP and enact it when she becomes president. Then he was sweating bullets and retracted the statement.

You will never convince me the TPP is a good thing. It is a job killer.

Many people have a favorable view of Buffett because he's not flashy (he's known as being frugal..at least by the media) and he always talking about how he want his taxes raised. He's also pledged to give most of his wealth to charity.

Then you need to listen and learn.

Without TPP, we risk China muscling in and completely shut us out of the Asian market. TPP will allow us to level the playing field.

Doing away with TPP Is NOT going to move jobs back here, but it WILL eliminate jobs when we get undercut by China or other competitors.

Do you understand how TPP works? It doesn't sound like you do.

You don't see the irony in that statement do you?

Trump can contradict himself in the same sentence.
