How does this look to everyone?

Hillary believes that any new trade measure has to pass two tests: First,
does it put us in a position to protect American workers, raise wages and
create more good jobs at home? Second, does it also strengthen our national
security?  We should be willing to walk away from any outcome that falls
short of these tests.  The goal is greater prosperity and security for
American families, not trade for trade’s sake.

Hillary will be watching closely to see the result of a number of pivotal
questions yet to be decided, including what is being done to crack down on
currency manipulation and unfair competition by state-owned enterprises; to
improve labor rights and protect the environment, public health, and access
to life-saving medicines; and to open new opportunities for our family
farms and small businesses to export their products and services overseas.
And, as Hillary warned in her book, Hard Choices, we shouldn’t be giving
special rights to corporations at the expense of workers and consumers.
Getting these things right will go a long way toward ensuring that trade
will be a net plus for everyday Americans.
