Politico Accidentally Reveals Hillary Only Pretending to Oppose TPP
NewsBusters ^ | August 30, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

Jonathan Chait, you are absolutely right. Last October, Chait wrote in New York magazine that "Hillary Clinton Pretends to Oppose Pacific Trade Deal." And as further proof of Hillary Clinton's pretense on this issue, we have verification today from Politico in an article written by Doug Palmer. Of course, Palmer wanted the readers to believe that Hillary was really really sincere in her supposed opposition to the Trans Pacific Partnership. Unfortunately for him a line buried in his story overturned his premise about Donald Trump and Hillary being equally opposed (snicker!) to the TPP.

So let us now join Palmer trying oh so hard to make the case for Hillary's sincere opposition while accidentally revealing the quote that makes a mockery of that premise.

That ‘revelation’ won’t change anything. Those who say
‘I’m with her’, expect her to lie and cheat anyway.
All for the greater good, is what they’ll say.
Any morals clause only applies to conservatives.

Hillary is for sale. Always. There are only two differences between Hillary and a hooker: the price and the services rendered.

Hillary is always lying. And always greedy. She no press conferences but she has all the time for fund raising.

From the article :

Hmm. And which of the two candidates do you think would abandon their “uncompromising trade statements?” Actually, we don’t really have to speculate much on that since the article has revealed it with this brief money quote:

The Trump campaign’s vow to kill the deal puts pressure on Clinton to follow suit. Her campaign did not respond to an email asking whether she would block implementation of the agreement if Congress passes it in the lame duck. But the Democratic nominee has been equally forceful about her opposition to the deal on the campaign trail, although she supported it as a member of the Obama administration.

Millions of dollars of Wall Street TPP-supporting money would lead most people to believe that’s why Hillary’s campaign did not respond on whether she would commit to blocking implementation of TPP if a lame duck Congress passes it.

Everything else is the mere window dressing of Hillary’s pretend opposition to TPP. So while the MSM continues focusing on Trump’s supposed flip flop on immigration, we know Hillary will flop back to TPP support after her pretend flip.

She can pretend to oppose TPP and her followers will pretend to believe her ...

Q. What is the ONLY difference between a prostitute and HRC?

A. There are some things that even a prostitute won’t do for money!

A tick drops off when you die.

Of course she’s pretending!

She is pretending the same way the RINO’s in our party pretended to oppose abortion.

Those who detest and despise her, also expect her to lie and cheat (and steal, and murder, and blaspheme, and covet, and adulterate ...)

Of course she’s lying now about opposing it now that it has become unpopular to be for it.

Hillary has backed every bad trade deal that has sucked America dry.

She backs illegal aliens sucking America dry.

She is sucking America dry.

Trade deals never end. There is always a need to fix the unintended consequences. Both Clinton & Trump will re-negotiate.

One will negotiate for what he thinks is best for the US population.

The other will check how much was given to the Foundation.
