NYT’s Jonathan Martin: Clinton’s Silence on TPP Is ‘Deafening’

‘She’s on the record supporting it … but now she doesn’t want to get cross with organized labor’

BERMAN: “And as someone watching this fight, who is pretty interesting here Jonathan and that's Hillary Clinton. You know, a lot of people are looking to her and saying, hey, what do you think about all this?”

MARTIN: “Her silence is deafening on the trade deal. And I think, you know, she is on the record supporting it when she was secretary of state, but now she does not want to get crosswise with organized labor, and with the left more broadly by coming out for it. And that has put the President in a tough spot, and I think a lot of Democrats especially in a sort of more moderate establishment are starting to get a little bit anxious about Hillary's silence on the issue. She's going to Iowa this week. I have a feeling she'll be asked about it again. So far she sort of punts it. Let's see what she says this week.”
