dayman Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) At this point is it not fair to say, regardless of your views, that damage to American credibility outweighs any alleged flaws with the deal? To let this fall apart at the ratification stage, as a nation, would be fairly embarrassing.

On the right, GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump is ripping the trade deal as a “disaster” negotiated by “incompetent people.” The Obama administration already won one hard-fought battle when trade promotion authority passed in June over opposition from most Democrats. But the booming anti-trade rhetoric animating the Republican and Democratic presidential primaries could complicate the path for Congress to formally approve the trade agreement between the United States and 11 Asia-Pacific nations, officially made public last week. Obama has little room for error. Pro-trade backers won the June fight by the narrowest of margins in both the House and Senate. The trade pact is the biggest item on Obama’s economic agenda during his last two years in office. “We only got 13 Democrats in the Senate on TPA,” Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) said. “There is a concern that with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side so fervently anti-trade, that I’m not sure whether those Democrat votes will be there.” When asked whether Clinton’s opposition made it more difficult for pro-trade Democrats to back the sweeping Pacific Rim trade agreement, one Senate Democrat who voted against TPA said bluntly: “Yes.”Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/senate-trade-trans-pacific-partnership-obama-215610#ixzz3r1DnA57Z Hillary Clinton flip-flops on Trans-Pacific Partnership ...
