Bernie's massive miscalculations

17. TPP was the only thing I got wrong about Clinton.

I assumed, wrongly, she'd embrace it as part of her fulfilling Obama's legacy approach (which, unlike Gore, I think was a good move, embrace the former Democratic President, don't shy away). I suppose she calculated that since it had already passed (she did not come out against it until it was done) that it'd be a weak gimmie. She's hardly spoken out "against" it in her rhetoric since.

The Wall Street rhetoric is not very controversial to me, the banks really are too risky at the moment, and Warren even argued that they're undervalued because of that. If you break them up they become more valuable, so Clinton's threats to push a fee and break them up (yes, Clinton came out for breaking them up on her Colbert interview) is not controversial and Wall Street likely backs some kind of restructuring so that they're more robust. Equal pay, etc, is a given, it's been part of the platform forever.
