But, yeah, TPP is a gimmie, she could've come out against it before it passed or before it had the votes (can't recall which but it was a foregone conclusion at the time she came out against it), at least that would've been credible. In a way, if she gets the nod and so does Trump, the "being against it thing" would be beneficial, since Trump is anti-TPP. Won't stop him from hitting her on NAFTA though.

Oh, and, yeah I predicted Keystone XL would be shot down (and Clinton coming out against it was not surprising at all to me, we've built 10x Keystone XL's since it broke ground, it was more of a distraction than anything; had Obama signed off on it another pipeline would've been the focus, so it was the big baddie).
