In today's TPP news, Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue asserts confidently that after the nomination and the election are safely out of the way, Clinton will shake the etch-a-sketch and become a TPP supporter. Because "practical." From "Inside U.S. Trade":
[...] The Chamber president said he expected Hillary Clinton would ultimately support the TPP if she becomes the Democratic nominee for president and is elected. He argued that she has publicly opposed the deal chiefly because her main challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), has also done so. “If she were to get nominated, if she were to be elected, I have a hunch that what runs in the family is you get a little practical if you ever get the job,” he said. [...] I dunno. I'm thinking, maybe some trade unionists and enviros in Iowa have a different understanding of the word "practical." Hope springs eternal in the human breast. === Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org [email protected] (202) 448-2898 x1
