TO AMERICANS WHO OPPOSED THE TPP FROM THE LEFT: The 11 other countries are moving forward, but scrapped labor and environmental protections the US got them to include. Once again, you compared reality to imagined perfection rather than probable alternatives.

Agreed. It also has to do with enforcement. The standards were tough, but to have them enforced, labor and environmental groups would have to continue to support leaders who would actively enforce the rules. Aka Democratic presidents.
-
Whatever the Left said or thought, how can you possibly blame them for pulling out of TPP. Did you forget who's president? Think he listens to the left?
-
The left blocked the passage of TPP under Obama.

And forced Hillary to change her position on it.

Shameless promotion, I wrote this last year: https://theamericanmoderate.com/2017/06/12/hillary-clinton-should-have-championed-trade/ …

If she supported TPP she would've lost the rust belt by more points than she did. It would be total political malpractice.

She was already tagged with having supporting it. The article explains why you should’ve turned it into “Trump wants America to retreat from the world, China will fill the void” and how she could have sold it as championing American manufacturing
-
And Hillary trying to spin TPP into something that would help manufacturing would've been laughable. No one would've bought that.
