Hillary's TPP claims. Disingenuous.

Our ruling

Clinton said, "I waited until (the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement) had actually been negotiated" before deciding whether to endorse it.

As secretary of state and a member of the Obama administration, it was Clinton's job to promote the deal, even if it wasn't finalized.

Nonetheless, her comments at the time were so positive and so definitive, it becomes disingenuous to argue, as she's doing now, that she didn't endorse the deal before it was finalized.

We rate her statement Half True.

1. She only came out "against" TPP

after the TPA vote and it appeared to be a done deal. And now trade ministers from the 12 member countries have already signed the damn thing.

2. Perhaps she can show us an early email where she denounces it.

7. she came out against it after the final agreement was announced but before the text was released.

so, how did she magically read the text to determine its provisions were inadequate?

9. Kick it!

Flawed candidate all around. A Facebook friend/Hillary supporter sent me a private message yesterday said she’s had enough scandal already and is changing her allegiance to Bernie. She realized her reasons for supporting Hillary were more emotional than rational.
