The Clintons rammed NAFTA down the throats of the American people with false promises, he said, in reference to the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement. I think the Clintons as a team need to be held accountable.

(5,364 posts)Now they ( Third-Way jerkweeds ) have spun it to a point where their own "conventional wisdom" treats the race to the bottom as if it were not only some unavoidable fact and status quo we better accept lest we be troglodytes, but some noble goal.
We might have been born yesterday, but it wasn't 10 minutes to midnight.
The fucking arrogance!

(1,642 posts)She called it the "gold standard" for trade, until Bernie's anti-TPP stance was embarrassing to her.
It's part of the illness called the "third-way."
In this video, Obama makes a fool of himself trying to sell it. He does not make an actual argument for it. He just states that he believes in it, and we should trust him.
No thanks.

(68,696 posts)Her husband was president ....not her. Honestly so sick of this...as I look at it I sincerely doubt Bernie will be the candidate...thus all this right wing attacks against Hillary from Democrats are unsettling...you guys want president Cruze or Trump? Both our caniddates are good...we are lucky.

8 years ago Hillary bragged about a vote for her also bringing Bill along creating a powerful team in the WH.
Finally, I'm getting sick of every comment about Hillary being called a right wing attack. The truth may hurt, but sometimes it's just the truth and has nothing to do with the right wing.

Change in that part of the trade agreement would probably do more to keep illegals out of the US than Trumps wall.
