President Obama has been going around the country stumping for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement, putting in more effort for this than any other cause of his presidency. More Republicans than Democrats currently support the treaty, which presents a messaging opportunity for those of us who believe it is a fatally flawed deal: start calling it "Obamatrade" with a message tailored to conservatives:
"If you liked Obamacare, you'll love Obamatrade:
this secretive pact will send millions of American jobs overseas
and surrender American sovereignty to the rulings of Unelected Judges."
("Ooh, them judges ain't even elected...")
It would be a headline grabber if Sen. Bernie Sanders starting referring to the TPP as "Obamatrade." And some Republicans might back away from supporting anything with "Obama" in the name.
Hopefully.
