And if it takes calling it OBAMATRADE to get the attention of Tea Party individuals, then that's the price that has to be paid.
For the Liberty wing of the GOP, you'll have to think for yourselves on this one, because the dude named after Ayn Rand "agrees with his friends," while some think one way and some think the other; HuffPo reporting:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has taken every conceivable position on the trade pact. In October, he gave a speech calling for Obama to finalize the TPP by year-end. Back in January, he was scheduled to attend a press conference attacking "Obamatrade." In September 2011, he voted against an amendment offered by McConnell that would give Obama the power to push through the deal without any amendments from Congress. The next month, Paul introduced a new bill that included McConnell's entire amendment.

Nobody but the plutocrats will prosper from TPP. Is that you? Ask yourself: Even if a plutocrat-wannabe, are you there or are you just another schmuck to be plucked, by TPP and the pack pushing the entire Iron Curtained cramdown?

Elizabeth Warren has been strong in opposition to TPP, consistently so, over time; per reporting here, here, here and here.
What's Hilary said about it?
Just asking ...
