I have to say. I used to be more protectionist on trade but I really think a reasonable middle ground is needed and what Trump and Sanders both went at I think was a dishonest way of talking about trade deals especially Trump himself who has heavily benefited from those deals personally.
I agree. The argument Pres. Obama consistently made was that TPP re-enforced America’s central role in creating a platform for fair trade in the Pacific region. If it really would have stripped more jobs from America, as opponents said, I wish there had been stronger push back. If it was really flawed, I’m willing to listen to that argument, too.
