Politics and Money

[PegnVA]

Since Sen Bernie Sanders is now running for president as a Dem, it will be interesting to see if he can shake things up and get HRC talking about what's important...Bernie said he's not interested in forming a PAC, which is refreshing to hear from a pol. I don't know HRC's stand on the latest Pacific trade deal, but as Sec'ty of State she called the Pacific deal "the gold standard in trade agreements", and given she supported Bill Clinton on NAFTA - as First Lady in 1996 saying "it has proven it's worth" - and opposed CAFTA when she was running against Obama in 2008...She's been all over the road on trade deals, depending (it seems) whether she's a candidate for office or not so it will be interesting to watch her finesses the TPT agreement, a trade deal that would hurt the very people she needs support from.
