45. The only person with a pro-TPP POV on the ticket WAS Kaine, and he's flipped.

Clinton, as SECSTATE, carried OBAMA's water on that topic, not her own. That is what subordinates do--they do what their boss says. After she left State, and when she decided to run, she called BHO up and warned him that she was going to diverge from his POV--she didn't blindside him, but she went her own way.

It's a faux divide, here with these WAAH TPP signs--and all this is a matter of public record.
