Hillary Clinton: Obama Should "Listen To Nancy Pelosi" On Trade

Does that mean that if Pelosi caves on TPP (like she has all-too-often on other issues) that Hillary is A-OK with that?

Apparently so.

So I'm still in the dark on what Hillary really supports or doesn't support.

All I want to know is if Clinton herself supports TPP. Why is that such a hard question to answer?

... keeping voters in the dark, is the plan.

Although, anyone with at least half a brain knows what the truth actually is. I guess that's what you do when you have no respect for those you would have vote you into the highest office in the Nation.

Sanders has done this to HRC, too, telling her to take a position on TPP.

Such imperative statements suggest at least a relationship of equality.

And when she takes a stand (somewhat vague ) then she's bashed for it.She doesn't know what's in the deal to make a definative stand on it so what the hell is she supposed to do

Bernie Sanders (and his supporters) just to mention a few.

The only reason "we don't know" what's in TPP is precisely
because of the absurd levels of secrecy surrounding the text.
