@emptywheel How would you describe the Dem econ stance? -
@JayAckroyd Increasingly neoliberal, but funded by oligarchs, and therefore increasingly less defensive of New Deal underpinnings? -
@emptywheel A swap of positions on trade policy maybe. With a pointy haired liberal attack on TPP. But Chamber still has weight. -
@JayAckroyd I think there is a non-zero chance that the Chamber endorses Hillary. They're running hard against Trump. -
@emptywheel And HRC general pivot starting with the Nancy Reagan statement is consistent with outreach to the Chamber....
