It's 'worse than anything we could've imagined': Progressives revolt against Obama's 'job-killing' trade pact and Sanders pledges to do everything he can to defeat it

Progressives are in an uproar over the text of President Barack Obama's trade pact, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which finally became public today.

Left-wing group Democracy for America was among the first of the organizations traditionally aligned with Obama but enraged over the trade agreement to proclaim that the 'job-killing TPP is worse than anything we could've imagined.'

Friends of the Earth claimed Obama 'sold the American people a false bill of goods.'

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders agreed it was 'even worse than I thought' and promised to 'do everything I can to defeat the TPP.'

The international accord now goes to Congress for consideration.

Mitch will guarantee the numbers add up. It will pass. Then the GOP gets the blame they deserve, but the Dems come out as defenders of American sovereignty and jobs.

Win win for the whole crew.

Sure am glad no one listened to us evil purists about lesser evils. Yup. Sure am.

Typically Dems don’t support trade deals because the unions are strongly opposed.

Comrade obamatollah is a leftwing communist - of course he lies.

Anyone who continues to believe anything this communist says is, at best, a Stalinesque useful idiot.

So, is any Republican running for the nomination "less evil" than Sanders, or not?

Liberal democrats, the last to know what the conservatives knew already and that some 7 years ago. The trade agreement is a way to bring illegal aliens and their employers into America and destroy more American jobs and business's.

So if Cruz or Trump do not get the nod, you won’t see a difference if Sanders wins versus any other opponent. Riiiight.

Nor will I care since one lib is as much garbage as another. If you want to keep electing liberals Rude, don’t look at me. They will be on your neck. I’ll be voting for a conservative, write in if needed.

If you want a liberal, ‘you’ elect one.

I don’t want to “keep electing liberals.” Why should I, when you are doing the heavy lifting?

Then what’s your problem? If you vote for conservatives, we have no issue. If you don’t then you are voting for a liberal.

I already said I’m voting for conservatives so do whatever makes you feel good about yourself.
