Wow, I didn't think she was ever going to take a position on this, and probably every other candidate had already chosen a position. But better late than never, I guess, although it would have been better 24 hours ago before the House passed it. And she's undecided on TPP itself, it's just fast track that she took a position on. Sanders and O'Malley have been strongly against both for a while now.

Although this being Hillary, she still seems a little triangulating in that she said she'd "probably" vote no if she was in the Senate.

Also the vote in the House was closer than the previous Senate vote. Only like 4 or 5 votes would have changed the House vote, but 8 Senators would need to change.  Definitely not leadership here from Hillary. Kind of fishy she waits until its hardest hurdle is cleared.

This, ladies and gents, is the definition of a Moderate Hero.

A self-described progressive who uses populist as a dirty word and openly supports a free-trade bill.  Is your only attraction to the Democratic Party LITERALLY so you can feel cool?

I've seen no indication that you have an ideology outside of supporting Obama in lockstep.

But glad to see you agree with Republicans and not the populists.

Not surprised. Sanders would have skewered her over this in the debates if she hadn't come out against it.
