Probably a good thing. Fast track means that the deal can only be voted up or down, which I guess could have happened even if Fast Track was approved yesterday.
I can't understand why ostensibly Democratic politicians continue to see merits in free trade. It's not good for American workers. If you wanted to condition TPP on raising the minimum wage and expanding Medicaid, then I can see why you would do this.
But overall, the TPP debacle was a return to the days when Obama wanted to negotiate with himself and always wound up losing.
