Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Typical of a Democrat, though, candidate Clinton ran away from the deal when she ran against Trump, rather than explain that some 80% of the goods from our 11 would-be TPP partners were already coming into the U.S. duty-free, while our goods and services were still being hit with some 18,000 tariffs in their countries -- tariffs that the deal would have eliminated.
35% : But Trump's foolishness had a lot of tacit support from Bernie Sanders and his fellow progressives with their knee-jerk opposition to the pact -- even though it was designed by Obama to address all the core labor and environmental issues that the left did not like about free trade.
