TPP battle brewing between Hillary & O'Malley?

"Politically, O’Malley’s support for a $15 per hour minimum wage makes sense. He’s quickly positioning himself not just to the left of Clinton but even to the left of Senator Elizabeth Warren. (Warren’s office did not return a request for comment asking if she supported O’Malley’s proposal.)
"The same logic applies on the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is a 12-country trade deal in the Pacific. The controversial agreement has sparked a huge backlash among labor groups and progressive activists. After so-called fast track legislation was introduced on Thursday to ease the TPP through Congress, those groups quickly mobilized to block the bill. The AFL-CIO, for instance, is launching a six-figure ad campaign to convince House and Senate democrats to oppose the legislation.
Policy-wise, it’s tough to know whether the TPP is good for the United States and American workers. The deal isn’t even complete yet, although we know most of the details about it. But, once again, these comments make perfect sense for O’Malley politically. Trade may be the toughest issue Clinton faces in the Democratic primary. Many liberals are still furious at President Bill Clinton for signing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which they argue was a significant cause of the decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs—and they view the TPP as a greater threat to U.S. workers than NAFTA. Clinton’s position on the trade deal is a litmus test for her to see if she is a part of the Warren wing of the Democratic Party." NewRepublic
