Cloture passed 60-37, with the 13 DINOs (probably the same as last time) voting for it. 4 Republicans voted against cloture this time. Many of those 13 are Hillary supporters. This is no thanks to Hillary's spinelessness.

What was she supposed to do?

Take a clear position for starters.

I understand the sentiment.  But, this is lose-lose situation.  She couldn't come out against it, because it would be an insult to Obama.  Coming out for a complicated trade pact that will have already passed when she gets into office doesn't help her. 

When's the last time that Alabama's Senators were on the liberal side of an issue while Washington's Senators were on the conservative side?

Why is this a liberal/conservative issue?  There are plenty of liberals who support the TPP.
