Interesting look into left-wing, ruling class minds. The ruling class does not understand conservative objections to things like TPP, which is that it transfers power and authority over Americans to unelected, international governing bodies.
This was the core problem with Law of the Sea and why it could not muster Senate ratification. LOST actually began the process of giving international governing bodies a revenue stream that was independent of donations by nation states—a dream of internationalists for a century.
The globalists cannot resist munging “free trade” together with a global governance infrastructure. The failure of LOST is why they made this a trade “agreement” that did not need constitutional Senate ratification.
It is interesting that there is as much, or more, dislike of TPP on the left as on the right.
