Not sure if the Congressional vote is before the next Dem debate, when the review period ends. I'm afraid it's really, really soon.

But Bernie certainly can take ownership of his long history battling fast track and these T Treaties. That definitely distinguishes him from Hillary's passive, tardy, hollow opposition after the crucial fast track vote. And just by describing it in a debate educates many still unaware that it's "NAFTA on Steroids" and a massive surrender of our American sovereignty to global corporate kangaroo courts. It's a huge political issue where most of the American people polled oppose it. Even Repub voters hate it when they hear the details.

So yes, hope Bernie brings it front and center in the next debate. He's really good at responding to questions with his own framing and message instead of answering cliche MSM questions with cliche answers.
