GOP panel removes TPP from the party platform

[ill]

Trump's lip service isn't enough for me. Now, if he stopped taking advantage of foreign labor and brought those jobs home, then I would probably listen. Further, how would getting rid of NAFTA or renegotiating NAFTA work, exactly? Wrt China, what's the solution there? Tariffs [1]? Lowering/removing regulations? I've read that Trump's position is ignorant on trade. Is that true?

This is what Trump and Sanders get wrong about free trade

Trump’s case against free trade makes no sense

I've listened to some of his old interviews and I find the probability highly likely that if he wins office, he will change the trade deals in order to make most outsourcing financially unfeasible. Thats my opinion from what I've heard him say on record over the years.

In regards to China, theres not much you can do without going into a trade/currency war with them, like Trump has stated. Our trade gap has gone up something like 10x since PNTR with China. Something has to be done or they'll continue to get rich off our backs without us gaining much value in trading with them. The most simple way to stop them is to stop letting them manipulate their currency but thats obviously much easier said than done.

I think Bernie had a great quote on these trade deals. Found here: Petition: Stop Another Trade Deal 'Disaster'

The TPP follows in the footsteps of other unfettered free trade agreements like NAFTA, CAFTA and the Permanent Normalized Trade Agreement with China (PNTR). These treaties have forced American workers to compete against desperate and low-wage labor around the world. The result has been massive job losses in the United States and the shutting down of tens of thousands of factories. These corporately backed trade agreements have significantly contributed to the race to the bottom, the collapse of the American middle class and increased wealth and income inequality. The TPP is more of the same, but even worse.
