Smart move.

tariffs, and elements of Nationalism, America First, criticism of Obama trade policies, and treating poor foreign workers like scabs. We’ve been here before.

Sounds kind of jaded. I do think she will support fair trade deals that serve to provide some level of protection for domestic labor as well as the environment globally. Are you opposed to such?

taking a stance on trade that helped give us the current Prez.

Since you asked.

Re: her stance on trade helped give us tRump -- ridiculous! She's not why tRump was elected.

it wouldn’t be released to public until years later?

She and Sanders didn’t use foreign workers as a wedge. While she and Sanders weren’t aren’t as hateful, the results were the same. And, yes, her criticism of Obama, and by association Clinton, did help give us the current Prez.

Decades ago unions used the same justification to keep Blacks and Hispanics from getting the better jobs because they would work for less. Now, foreign workers are the scabs.

And default back to bumper stickers and t-shirt slogans.

Hope the graphics are good, 'cause the back of the t-shirt needs it.

America trading among ourselves in a global world is a ticket to recession and war.

the lack of transparency surrounding it as well — also rightly. Obama presided over its development, so of course he bore some of that criticism. Many Democrats and all of labor criticized the TPP including how and by whom it was developed, it’s lack of transparency and it’s impact on labor and domestic regulation. The mainstream media stayed completely silent on it throughout its development. One thing Warren never did was outright attack free trade per se. Her position was do free trade agreements that are sensible from the standpoint of domestic impacts. I don’t know why any Democrat would argue against or criticize that position. Especially given the 40 year economic policy trend leading up to TPP.

to be debated.

Warren had, and probably still does have, a fundamental misunderstanding of 2500 trade agreements approved here, in Europe and elsewhere since 1959.

She and Sanders took pretty much the same America First, the hell with the rest of the world, approach as our current Prez in their populist campaign rhetoric.

by the parties at the table — and it was an exclusive set. The draft was the proposal — just like a draft plan of any type is the proposal of those who prepared it. The MSM was silent on it — so most were not aware of what the terms, meaning and effect of the draft let alone its existence.

Frankly, it’s offensive that you conflate legitimate, informed concern about the labor, wage and socio-economic sustainability issues associated with TPP/free trade agreements with support for or a reason trump was elected. It’s strikes me as arrogant and righteous.

America First and "Economic Patriotism" is.
