Jake says it all, here:
Clinton takes a stand on trade – kind of http://t.co/31H10nbkul

Essentially, she’s trying to pretend that the TPA (fast track) issue is somehow separate from the TPP trade deal, despite the fact that anti-wealth Democrats absolutely hate the idea that a President could negotiate a trade agreement that isn’t subject to Big Labor’s veto – and are thus doing everything in their power to ensure that no President ever have fast-track authority, ever again. The problem is, of course, that Hillary Clinton needs every single Democratic vote in 2016, so she can’t pick a side: whichever one she doesn’t will chew bitter bones, as the Elves say. More importantly, they’ll resent Hillary Clinton. That is a worse outcome for her than merely looking like an uninformed idiot on the subject will, which is why Brendan Buck wrote this:
Either Clinton isn't familiar with the very basics of TPA debate or she is being incredibly disingenuous. Or she's just trying to mess w me.

Then again, as we say over at RedState: embrace the healing power of ‘and,’ Brendan.
