The best analysis I saw of the TPP pointed out how ironic it is that Democrats with elections coming up are against it, but Obama is for it.
The reason? Because if we don't implement TPP, the Chinese will likely create their own trade policy with the countries in question and we'll be left out. Sometimes in diplomacy and global economics it's not a zero sum game, but a game of compromises.
