Hillary, TPP: The Grand Scheme

The neo-liberals hope to fast-track and pass the TPP while team mate Hillary dodges the issue. In due time, they will pass the power baton from Barack to Hillary. Though, before she gains power, the bill will have become law, she will be safe to speak out against the TPP.

If she blasts the Trans Pacific Partnership now, it throws a wrench in everything - politicians will be forced to follow her lead, voters will line up with her and the TPP will be in trouble. If she supports the trade agreement, she loses much of her base.

Half the reason the TPP is being fast-tracked at this moment is to get this off the table for Hillary's presidential run in 2016. Hillary has the lead in this game and is trying to run out the clock. She will ditch saying anything substantive until the game is over and will avoid this issue like its a Chipotle surveillance camera.
