knew what he was talking about.

2. Me neither. It was a bulwark against China.

4. Sigh

It wasn’t perfect, but it was well crafted and would ha e been good for our economy and the best leverage we’d ever have to deal with China.

Many here hated it.

3. Trump would have simply unilaterally withdrawn, just like he's done with everything else

that Obama achieved.

5. +1

6. Exactly. And a couple of our own candidates were instrumental in that, and

the issue helped elect trump.

7. TPP was a disaster

However, not for the reasons Trump pushed it

TPP was too broad and included things it should not have - eg: things which would have compromised us to DRM.

That said, I'm sure Obama viewed somethings as necessary evils to bring about the stability of bigger components.
