It is well known that Hillary Clinton was defending TPP as late as last year (and the "hemispheric common market" comment comes from 2013 -- http://fortune.com/2016/10/11/clinton-wikileaks/ http://fortune.com/2016/10/11/clinton-wikileaks/).
It is also well known that Hillary Clinton has sort-of kind-of changed her position in response to the Bernie Sanders left pull.
Yes, in my personal opinion it's probably not a strong pull, and Sanders voters who feel strongly against free trade / TPP / etc. are justified in feeling suspicious. But a speech from 2013 when she was openly promoting it doesn't exactly tell too much.
