O’Malley Says of Clinton on TPP: ‘Wow! That’s a Reversal!’

“I’m against the Trans-Pacific Partnership. I let people know that from the outset, and I think we need to focus on building up our own economy,” Martin O’Malley says in statement.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus says in statement that Clinton position on TPP is “a case study in political expediency”
NOTE: Clinton in statement says “based on what I know so far, I can’t support this agreement”
NOTE: CNN reports Clinton said in 2012 that TPP “sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field”
National Security Adviser Susan Rice said on Bloomberg Politics’ ‘With All Due Respect’ in June that negotiating TPP was a “significant achievement” of Hillary Clinton’s at State Dept

"now that I've had a chance to look it over (now that Trump AND Bernie have denounced it) there are some things I'm against as it stands now" -- paraphrased -- and leaving herself open to change her mind again.

God forgive me if she's honestly just now reviewed it and that's her honest assessment, but I just don't believe she says or does anything that hasn't been weighed politically.

BTW, I'm happy Rachel will have "your guy" on with Hillary and Bernie. At least more of us will get a look at him. Trump and Hillary and Bernie (and now Joe) are still taking all the oxygen out of the room.

(obviously here) and the poster didn't have any details, just giving an early heads up. Maybe she'll mention it, and I'm guessing it'll be
promoted on her show. We'll see!

Spending her entire life in the government has rendered her completely soulless. She probably takes a poll before choosing what color pant suit to don in the AM.
