David Ignatius: Seems Like Hillary Is ‘Running Scared’ About the TPP

David Ignatius: Seems Like Hillary Is "Running Scared" About The TPP (RealClearPolitics)

DAVID IGNATIUS, WASHINGTON POST: She is, as I wrote this week, playing a "rope-a-dope" campaign, remember Mohammad Ali the fighter, she is presumably hoping to let Republicans punch themselves out swinging and swinging and by the time you get to the real campaign, their arms will be tired. I'm not sure that is going to work. 

I find it genuinely troubling that on an issue where she was involved in the takeoff, the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, she has been so silent, as if she is really running scared from the liberal wing of her own party and not putting her views out there. 

I thought the president by contrast was really a strong voice for what he believes in, and for Clinton to be compelling she is going to have to have that same full throated expression of what she thinks.
