Ron Wyden has taken a lot of flack for his inexplicable position on TPP...although I don't think the Republican field has anyone that can really challenge him. But a Hillary nomination won't help Democratic turnout here, and Ron's already likely made a lot of further-left folk unenthusiastic about him.

And yes, I'm upset with him...one of my favorite politicians delivers a stab in the back to working people. I'll still vote for him...but I've let him have it for that TTP nonsense.
