This was a major campaign issue during the Democratic primaries, and Trump brought it up frequently before he picked Mike Pence as his running mate.

Strongly support.
I had some misgivings about it, yes. But there is a lot at stake. American credibility in the East, Obama's pivot to Asia, and future imitatives are at stake. If we don't pass it, our workers don't profit, our economy doesn't profit...but China does.

No, primarily because of the dispute resolution mechanisms. I think they would give corporations far too much power.

I second this. Although, I feel it has been hard fought (and hard-negotiated) and worry that if it were to be changed we would see a lot of nations start to back out, so I am on the fence about abandoning it altogether.

But the Trade Plan itself in its current form, I do not support it.

Yes, more than I do NAFTA and the vast majority of free trade deals.

I'd sign it, but it's not the exact deal I would have written.

Yes, unenthusiastically though (R).

We could be demanding a lot better deal on agricultural commodities.

Like most free trade agreements there's hordes of good and hordes of bad. If I were in Congress I'd vote against it but it's not the catastrophic thing the True Leftists and alt right make it out to be.

Not in its current form. I'm highly sceptical it'll work out the way it should.

And ruin other countries' agricultural system like we did to Haiti?

Strongly Oppose, it sells off a nation and it's agriculture, industry to foreign business and corporations, and jobs are outsourced to foreign politics, with disastrous environmental conditions, with slave working conditions.

It is an act of selling off a country, and it's people to be ruled by foreign powers, and foreign business, who exploit workers, and outsource jobs.

Lean support, but it should be strengthened to be more anti-China.

     It's alright, but we could do better in terms of free trade deals.

No (I/O). I oppose these trade deals that diminish sovereignty, but I support free trade. I oppose protectionism.
