how do you think this would influence the primaries

(10,155 posts)In this election I don't think trade policy or climate change or financial reform are decisive electoral issues. Terrorism, health care and energy are more in the news and on peoples minds as far as I can see.

Evidently this came up in the break room!
I told him, yeah, it was bad - and told him to remember which politician was against it, and which politician shilled for it.
I am going to use info about the TPP to influence the primary whenever I talk to someone about Bernie, and I was actually astonished that a 22 year old guy had heard of it, and knew enough to be pissed off, and that this is discussed by employees in the break room. Then I remembered that people this age, like my grandson, get their information online, not from TV. Yes!!!!!!!!!!
