In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Will Take Clear Position On Trade When Deal Is Done, Her Campaign Says [View all]tularetom
(23,664 posts)16. Should she take a position if nobody really knows what's in it?
Yes, that's exactly why she should take a position on it. And her position should be 100% in opposition to it.
In fact, everybody in the US should be opposed to this stinky turd of a trade agreement. Or any other proposed piece of legislation that they want to push in secret. If they can't or won't tell us what's in it, it can only be because they don't want us to know, and that can only be because they know we'd get out the pitchforks, tar and feathers if we found out.
