45 times Secretary Clinton pushed the trade bill she now opposes

[NorthCarolina]

Clinton was one of the leading drivers of the TPP when Secretary of State. Here are 45 instances when she approvingly invoked the trade bill about which she is now expressing concerns:

1. January 31, 2013: Remarks on American Leadership at the Council on Foreign Relations

"First and foremost, this so-called pivot has been about creative diplomacy:Like signing a little-noted treaty of amity and cooperation with ASEAN that opened the door to permanent representation and ultimately elevated a forum for engaging on high-stakes issues like the South China Sea. We've encouraged India's "Look East" policy as a way to weave another big democracy into the fabric of the Asia Pacific. We've used trade negotiations over the Trans-Pacific Partnership to find common ground with a former adversary in Vietnam. And the list goes on."

2. January 18, 2013: Remarks With Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida

3. November 29, 2012: Remarks at the Foreign Policy Group's "Transformational Trends 2013 Forum"

4. November 17, 2012: Delivering on the Promise of Economic Statecraft

5. November 15, 2012: Remarks at Techport Australia

6. November 14, 2012: Remarks With Australian Foreign Minister Robert Carr, Australian Defense Minister Stephen Smith, and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta

7. November 14, 2012: Remarks at the Opening of the AUSMIN Ministerial

8. September 8, 2012: Remarks at APEC CEO Summit

Also in 2013, Bloomberg News noted then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her major role in helping to draft the TPP

"She’s <Hillary> also taken a leading part in drafting the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the free-trade pact that would give U.S. companies a leg up on their Chinese competitors."

So, honest thoughts...Considering having a major role in not only drafting the TPP, but in promoting it world wide, is she really credible when she comes out against the TPP? Also, did she really come out and precisely say "I am against it" as Senator Sanders has, or is it doublespeak wherein later she can say she never said she was "against it"? I'll be the first to admit, I am totally clueless as to her real position on TPP.

1. The only thing that matters is how she voted.

Do you have those results?

[NorthCarolina]

2. No, that's not the only thing that matters.

Her mindset on the issue is what matters.

9. that's the kind of leadership we're looking for..

6. Personally I think had she come out against it earlier she may have been able to sway

some of the D's in Congress to vote against it. Especially her former colleagues in the Senate. It was a lost opportunity for her and the country. Had she done that it would have been impressive. Too late now.

7. She's a neoliberal who never

met a war or trade agreement she didn't like. SHe is the epitome of a Potomac fever sell-out.

8. It is disappointing that she wavered until the last possible minute

to oppose the fast-track. Whether she's playing both sides I don't know. It was a huge loss for ordinary Americans who will have little power to stop the TPP once it goes through Congress.
