During her first campaign rally in Iowa, Clinton gave her most extensive remarks yet on the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal -- which she has so far declined to take a hard stance on -- and appears to have sided with Pelosi over the president.
But don't for a minute thing Hillary is against the agreement because it is not free trade enough. She wants a deal that is even more government interventionist.
More from ABC:
"Let me say a word about another issue," Clinton told the crowd of roughly 700 people during her rally on the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. "There's a lot of discussion right now about the potential Trans Pacific Partnership Trade Deal, and I want to tell you what I want to be in that deal."-RW
Clinton went on to list three requirements – that it must protect American workers, raise wages, and be in our national security interest – which she has repeatedly said need to be in the deal in order for her to back it.
"In order to get a deal that meets these high standards, the president should listen to and work with his allies in colleagues -- starting with Nancy Pelosi -- who have expressed their concerns about the impact a weak agreement would have on our workers, to make sure we get the best, strongest deal possible," she said.
"And if we don't get it," Clinton continued, "There should be no deal."
