Democrat Hillary Clinton is taking ideas straight from GOP nominee Donald Trump’s campaign platform and everyone’s taking note.
During a campaign stop Thursday in Michigan, for instance, Clinton claimed she would stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal Trump has lambasted before he became as a contender for president.

Clinton, on the other hand, has been pushing for TPP from its beginning. CNN even notes her sudden flip-flop on the issue, citing 45 times she has advocated for the trade deal.
And when it comes to tariffs, getting tough on China and taxing businesses that move jobs out of the country, Clinton’s practically reading Trump’s script. It didn’t get by Twitter users, one of whom questioned whether she was a Trump surrogate.

looking forward to Hillary passing the "Not TPP" trade agreement, which will be completely different than TPP https://t.co/pqvFZECRff

WOW! NOW HILLARY IS FOR ELIMINATING TAX LOOPHOLE FOR HEDGEFUND MANAGERS! Odd that she didn't do a thing about it when she was in U.S. Senate

Hillary, w/ a slight nod to Trump on trade: "It is also true that China and other countries have gamed the system for too long."

Hillary Clinton is sounding like Trump on trade and tariffs and quite frankly I'm wondering if using his lines off her teleprompter ??
