Both candidates have nuanced views on NAFTA because they HAVE to. People in Ohio hate NAFTA, while people in some parts of Texas love it. None of the candidates were talking that anti-Nafta stuff when they were in certain parts of Texas, cause it is popular in those places. NAFTA was beneficial in some places and catastrophic in others. Hillary was of the opinion that it needed to be made fairer, and that it needed to be re-hauled. She had qualms about it even when her husband first proposed it, but eventually got on board with it. Obama has been more consistently against it, but of course he didn’t have to take a position on it back in the 90’s. Beyond that, some Canadian official sent a memo stating that Obama’s point person on the matter, gave him the old nod and wink routine(we’ll bash Nafta in public, but don’t’ worry we’re not really going to get rid of it), remember that was in the news, for a brief moment. So, all told, the pickings were pretty slim on that topic for anyone who is totally against it. All of the candidates “have sh*t with them” as they say, on that topic. I’d say it was a wash….
