We need to trade with other countries or we will die economically. That is a proven fact of economics. But that trade needs to be beneficial for the regular people on both sides, not just weasely CEOs of corporations. Hillary's perspective on this seems the most reasonable of all the candidates. You need a balanced approach to governing. Make a deal that helps everyone, or else don't make the deal, but don't just automatically reject everything.
