Something to keep in mind, both Republicans and Democrats helped get fast track authority passed. Many of those who voted against it did so to not hurt their bids to get re-elected. TPP only needs a simple majority to pass, I wont be surprised if it's voted on, passed, and signed by the President during the lame duck session. Regardless of what any politician has said about it.

I agree. Its a done deal and will be passed. The OP has no idea how many more corporations will be leaving and those jobs Nutty Don has promised will never materialize.

It seems it was dead either way since both candidates opposed it.

It had a lot of bad aspects written into like any deal. I particularly thought the copyright regulations were absurd and glad that the TPP as it was is dead.
