Does anyone have a link to share with Stef talking about the TPP? I'd love to hear his take.
I think the TPP is a great litmus test for politicians. Are you cool with selling-out America and any semblance of the free market to multi-national corporations?
1. YES
2. NO
As far as I can tell, the following presidential candidates are the only ones who are against the TPP. This is not a perfect list because some of the candidates (like Ted Cruz) have a pretty shady vote history on the TPP despite what they say.
The list:
Rand Paul*
Donald Trump
Rick Santorum
Scott Walker
Ben Carson
Ted Cruz**
Martin O'Malley
Bernie Sanders
Everyone else is cool with selling-out America and any semblance of the free market to multi-national corporations
Not that I like Ed Sullivan overall, but Comcast fired him because he talked about the TPP.

This is the corporate coalition has been lobbying congress and Obama for the last ten years at least. It's been Obama's baby since his first term. I wonder why he did not talk about it during his re-election campaign?
