KEY BLOCK----- John, the one point I would emphasize that is time sensitive is that on the trade bill vote in the Senate, my advice would be she say she would vote no now and vote no until there is a significant jobs bill tied to it, similar to the big infrastructure bill I suggested in my last column be tied to the trade bill....not merely fast-track tied to a trade adjustment bill that itself is insufficient..... What I predict is most likely is that Obama wins fast track with his deal with Republicans and conservative Dems, tied to a lame TAA, with the net result is that liberals and labor are engaged and that HRC supports this package would be a big mistake IMO..... Obama could easily sink her, on this and other matters.....and sink down ballot Democrats....if we must do fast track, which I am not a big fan of in principle, there is no reason it cannot be tied to a big infrastructure jobs bill which many Republicans and business leaders support..... What Obama did was inflame the GOP base in large numbers.....through no fault of his own....but depress enough Democrats to not vote...which was totally his fault and many on his staff....HRC will have the same inflammatory affect on the Republican base to vote...through no fault of her own.....but what she can control to a large degree is whether she motivates our base or whether she calls herself a fighter but many in our base conclude she is not..... My fear is she has a low standard of what will satisfy her on trade....which will make her look, and be, Obama 2.0 on trade in the end at the very moment when a lot of liberals....myself included.....were appalled by his insults of liberals on trade..... Fast track plus weak TAA is a loser for her, but I suspect that is where she ends up, add a significant infrastructure jobs plan, that is the winner, and IMO that should be her price for supporting it, or something similar.....and if it were my call she would tell Obama that personally and if he doesn't get a better deal, just say no having made the fight.....Brent Sent from my iPad > On Jun 22, 2015, at 2:15 PM, John Podesta <[email protected]> wrote: > > Brent, > We are of course aware of the numbers and the trend lines. And we are not complacent. And I put our consultants in that we. The question remains what do you do about that given the certainty that the Republicans (and to some extent the media) will continue to hammer away at "trust". My own view is that her history, values, vision and agenda can blunt the attacks and convince people from the center to the left that the one thing you can trust is that she will be a tenacious fighter for everyday Americans and the middle class. And you can trust the Republicans to fix the system for the people at the top. Moreover, she has the strength to not only wage those fights, but to win them. So I think we need to stay strategically focused on proving that. > Two things I disagree with you about: > 1) unlike perhaps the current occupant, she very much sees down ballot and broad geographic success for Democrats as critical. > 2) Her trade position has nothing to do with donors and Wall Street. She's stated her criteria for TPP, but hasn't ruled out the possibility that that criteria can be met in a final deal. Her position in that regard is not that dissimilar to Pelosi's. That might not be that satisfying, but it's what she thinks. > John > > On Jun 22, 2015 7:11 AM, "Brent Budowsky" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > John, here's what I mean, and please follow my logic.
