(51,907 posts)4. Bernie Sanders Wins in Michigan Thanks to Trade Policy
http://www.thenation.com/article/bernie-sanders-wins-in-michigan-thanks-to-trade-policy/
Clearly, Clintons attempt to suggest that Sanders had not supported the 2009 bailout of the auto industry failed. Voters just did not buy the claim that the senator, who has a long history of battling on behalf of industrial workers and American manufacturing, had been on the wrong side of that issue.
But there was more to it than that. In the same Sunday night debate where Clinton was talking about the auto bailout, Sanders was speaking specifically, and aggressively, about his opposition to trade policies that working people in Michigan associate with economic damage, dislocation, and decline.
? Throughout his campaign, Sanders has highlighted his past opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement and normalization of trade relations with Chinaand his absolute, unequivocal opposition to the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
Clinton, who in 2012 announced that this TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements, now says that she too is opposed to the proposal.
In Sunday nights debate in Flint, Sanders said Clinton has discovered religion on this issue, but its a little, too late, and he argued that Secretary Clinton supported virtually every one of these disastrous trade agreements written by corporate America.
