I'm not going to lose any sleep over this.

Yes, the trade system is biased toward corporations and against the little guy. But what this bill does is at the periphery rather than at the core of the problem.

But as president, I have no doubt she would be every bit the fascist/corporatist shill that Obama is.

Bernie Sanders probably would be, too. A president has far less authority and flexibility than you suppose.
