Why is TPP secret? Bush released the text of his trade agreement before requesting a TPA.

Given that recent history, why did the GOP Congress not demand release of a final TPP before approving TPA?

Obama and the GOP were deliberately hiding the facts from the American people and you are supporting those actions?

It’s shameful that the GOP isenabling and standing with Barack Obama but it is what it is. History will note this abdication by the GOP in the face of a lawless POTUS.

Why is TPP secret?

I have no idea why the TPP negotiations are being kept so secret.
My guess is that every day Americans would be spitting tacks if they knew in advance what was being proposed and Congress doesn't want to deal with the backlash.
Thus the urgent need for fast-track. Pass it "as is" even if you only like part of it because -- "it helps the American worker". /politician impression
