Uh, do you think many of the blue collar workers you mention ever knew any details of the NAFTA and TPP agreements, pro or con? Voting republican has zero benefit for anyone not of the 1%. To claim that Trump 'rebuilt manufacturing in the USA' is another myth. Support for Trump by the 'working class' is due to his demagoguery.

One of the benefits was not having to listen to arrogant, smug (but uninformed), leftist assholes all the time.

You probably have no idea how valuable that is to 1/2 the voters.

Isn't it surprising that more republicans supported the business-friendly NAFTA deal than dems? It was never about the working stiff, for Trump or anyone who supported it.

Trump tried to rebuild manufacturing and informed us as we went year by year of what he was doing.

"do you think the blue collar workers knew the details"

you're comment insulting the intelligence of the laborer is just as condescending as Hillary's "deplorables."
