I was thinking - if Obama has the votes to ram the Fast Track, and thus the TPP, through - why bother with all this bullshit?
Why even bother trying to pretend liberals - who are now, I see, DIFFERENT from "Democrats" - are okay with the TPP?

I appreciate the chance to add politicians I will never support or vote for to my list, though!
