Trying to Make a Hard Sell on TPP using Nike

On the May 6 Podcast, Ed was joined by United Steelworkers International President Leo Gerard to talk about the latest on Fast Track and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). We are also joined by MSNBC Political analyst and columnist Jonathan Alter to discuss the three Republican candidates entering the Presidential race this week.

They talked about the effects of fast track, the stance of Democrat Presidential candidates and trying to sell fast track using NIKE.

"The American public, as you well know Ed, by a substantial majority, is against any more of these trade deals," said Gerard. "The public gets it. If you go against the fast track bill, you're going to be a winner. If you go with it, you're going to be a loser.
