5. It's a complex Trade agreement

That has been hammered out for over a decade. We need trade agreements, and we need them with multiple counties, each with their own government and laws. I see the term 'TPP' tossed out there as the embodiment of everything evil and bad, without offering a viable alternative. I mean what? NO trade agreements? Stop negotiating until every country agrees to everything the US wants? Start over--conduct business without trade agreements? Stick with NAFTA? Let China run the negotiations? What?


Hillary opposing parts of it she finds--I will use the word inadequate-- is the proper and most sensible thing to do.

What President Obama has said, is that he want the US to have a significant say in what goes into trade agreement, to protect our workers, to protect workers in other countries. Hillary has identified areas where these protections could be improved.
