It should be a problem for her. I have strong doubts that it will though. stillwaiting Jan 2014 #3
Also, what does she say today about her vote for the Iraq War? Broward Jan 2014 #5
Rumor is that she helped write it. Cleita Jan 2014 #6

But it certainly appears to me that the politics of the TPP are going downhill fast. Not sure if she's still speaking publicly on it. I am curious how that plays in the primaries.

If she's nominated, I can't see voting for her opponent.

Today's Democrats are certainly "New" Democrats.

There have been posts on it here. I can't do a search or link right now but it's there. I would assume since she was one of the crafters that she would be a supporter.

Do you refer to former President Bill Clinton as titles other than his highest office held? It is a respect thing. She earned those titles, whether you like her or not.

I have no problem with deriding her positions/policies... Go for it. But you can do so with the respect she has earned--just as I'd expect you to do so with a male candidate.

I just asked a question. That being said, I see nothing disrespectful about referring to Madame Secretary Clinton as "Mrs. Clinton" in a DU post any more than I would calling her "Hillary". It's an informal medium. But if you'd rather fight about that than TPP, I totally understand.
