First off its important to remember that the primary citizens (with the biggest voting rights) of the USA are corporations and their elites. The general population are simply 2nd class citizens (and if you don't think this is true, then what rock have you been hiding under?). So the TPP is just a natural extension of corporate political power and regardless of whether the TPP is ratified by Congress or not, this kind of thing is not going away but will only become more pervasive. If Clinton gets elected then this kind of corporate political power will really get a head of steam under it. Watch out!
The corporate powers behind the TPP and other trade agreements that are pushing for the fast track are simply asking from Congress what they are owed- allegiance for all corporate dollars dumped into congressional campaigns. Sooner or later its gonna happen.
