re: #158 Barefoot Grin

Yep, and I’ve been very critical here of HRC for folding, too. She could have stood up to Bernie. It’s an open question of whether the media would have buried or amplified her voice, but it turns out that a whole range of GOP-voting folks—especially farmers—would have needed little convincing to understand the benefits of TPP and consistent line on NAFTA.

TPP was a tough sell on the left as well. It was complex, especially since it was a diplomatic treaty wrapped in an economic one. It wasn’t all that popular, and I’m pretty sure if Clinton had tried to explain it, CNN would have shown Trump’s podium.
