In reply to the discussion: from Martin O'Malley, re: TPP [View all]cali
(114,904 posts)5. sigh. I'll explain this very simply (again) just for you:
It's fine to be for free trade. Everyone is for free trade. Bernie is for free trade. O'Malley is opposed to a specific "trade" deal- which as many experts have explained, is largely not about trade.
Now is you could demonstrate that he was for the TPP before he was against it, you might have the germ of an argument, but since Hillary has been for (or against) so many things before she was against (or for) them, you don't have a proverbially leg to stand on. Want and example: Last year she said marriage equality was a state issue. Yesterday she said it should be a constitutional right.
your post is embarrassingly, though predictably, uninformed, Ms. Rhapsody.
