WestVirginiaRebel Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Daily Mail: Hillary Clinton's 2014 memoir 'Hard Choices' is out in a new paperback edition – minus a detail that trade hawk Donald Trump might notice. The original hardcover book included a discussion of Clinton's efforts as secretary of state to urge foreign coutries to join negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. That 12-nation Pacific rim agreement has become a political football, with the Obama administration cheerleading for its success and Trump rooting for its failure – and Clinton caught in the middle. Her book's new paperback edition drops entirely the description of her work on the pro-TPP side during a 2009 conference in El Salvador. '[W]e worked hard to improve and ratify trade agreements with Colombia and Panama and encouraged Canada and the group of countries that became known as the Pacific Alliance — Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Chile — all open-market democracies driving toward a more prosperous future to join negotiations with Asian nations on TPP, the trans-Pacific trade agreement,' the book read in 2014. Now the entire two-page section that described her advocacy for the TPP is gone, according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research. ________ Rewriting her own history.
