From article:

Reporting on the interview, Inside U.S. Trade noted:

The Chamber president said he expected Hillary Clinton would ultimately support the TPP if she becomes the Democratic nominee for president and is elected. He argued that she has publicly opposed the deal chiefly because her main challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), has also done so. "If she were to get nominated, if she were to be elected, I have a hunch that what runs in the family is you get a little practical if you ever get the job," he said.

It's just a hunch doncha know. But it's all about being pragmatic. Sort of like the wink-wink to Wall Street.

7. The TPP that was her 'gold standard', before she "opposed" it, but not really.

Why am I not surprised?

8. If Hillary does become President she's not going to get as much of a pass that Obama got............

after he offered up Social Security cuts, supported Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy, etc...

Hillary's not as well liked, doesn't have the support Obama had and people are twice as fed up with the neoliberal campaigning to the left while leaning to the right.

9. Of course she will

bless her little corprotist heart.
