TYT: Hillary Will Flip-Flop On TPP Again If Elected

[marmar]

[Karmadillo]

1. But, but, but that would be a lie and she said...

[VulgarPoet]

2. And nobody's surprised... nt

[djean111]

3. Not even a flip-flop - just an outright lie.

Her backers were not worried a bit.

[tazkcmo]

4. Publicly

Privately, she's been very consistent.

[artyteacher]

5. tyt have zero credibility any more. eom

[marmar]

7. On the contrary, TYT has more credibility than almost any MSM outlet.

[artyteacher]

16. they uses to, until they started acting like mindless...

Propagandists.

[beedle]

22. I don't think that word

means what you think it means.

First, it simply means someone who promotes a cause.

Second, they promote anti-establishment, while the word can apply to that case, it is more normally used for those promoting the establishment (ie: Hillary supporters.)

Using it as though it was only had a negative connotation is dishonest --- but that's what we've comes to expect from the HRC coronation team.

6. With as many psychics as we have on DU

We shouldn't have any trouble at all picking the correct candidate!

[JTFrog]

8. Who? n/t

[Bettie]

10. Does anyone doubt that, even for a second?

I certainly don't.

TPP is wanted by the people who fund her. Of course she'll give them what they want.

[senz]

25. Yes. TPP is a major reason they want her in the White House.

TPP will pretty much finish off America as a functioning democracy.

[Katashi_itto]

11. No shit.

[Freddie Stubbs]

12. I certainly hope so

[Lizzie Poppet]

13. And anyone actually surprised by that...

...should be closely supervised and kept away from sharp objects and unprotected power outlets.

[Betty Karlson]

14. Of course she will. Did we ever doubt she would backstab us over and over once elected.

Best not nominate her: the fewer chances she has to mess up the part and the country, the better. Third Way's time has come and gone, and Clinton is stuck in the 20th century if she refuses to face that reality.

[JRLeft]

15. Come on Hillary supporters defend this.!

[dana_b]

17. of course she will

it's what she does.

[amborin]

18. of course; and, she never really said she'd oppose it; she used weasel words; it's her treaty, for

pete's sake

19. #whichhillary

[tk2kewl]

20. she will claim some side deal makes it all better for workers and the environment

just like Bill did with NAFTA

[AzDar]

21. Ayup.

[Punkingal]

23. Of course she will....

The Chamber of Commerce president has already said so.

[senz]

24. Of course. She never really "flipped."

She suddenly expressed reservations, made qualified statements -- after Bernie got into the race.

So far, Mrs. Clinton hasn't met a job-destroying, democracy undermining trade agreement she couldn't love.

[oldandhappy]

26. yep

no lies, honest! She said it did not meet her standards. She will tweak it and suddenly it will be OK!!! Absolutely!

[Herman4747]

27. WELL, SHE GOT PAID NEARLY $2 MILLION BY CANADIAN PIPELINE

CONCERNS, SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

32. Damn

And some people are fine with it

28. Isn't "Flip-Flop" an invective that Republicans use against Democrats?

They use it as an aspersion to hide their own rigid inability to adapt or be confident enough to see where a different course of action is needed and be flexible enough to change their positions to achieve better results. Democrats are better that that.

Republicans seems to think this is a strange and terrible thing, so they stay locked to their bad decision forever... like gifting us with 40 years of failed trickle down economics. But here's thing; everyone shifts their thinking and changes their minds on a daily basis. Whether you are SATM, a working class American, a business owner, or a political leader, your achievements and successes depend on your ability to adapt and make new decisions as needed. Democrats do that all the time.

Yet, now we have Democrats (?) here who are actually advocating that one of our own presidential candidates should mimic the rigid Republican automatons who are too paralysed by fear and too intellectually bullheaded to recognize when changes are called for and make decisive new decisions... which Democrats have always done.

29. Spin cycle in overdrive.

[procon]

30. Not exactly the erudite discussion I had in mind, but

I can see that you gave it all you've got.

[TheFarseer]

31. I don't think republicans own flip flop
