    That clip made some very good points…….most of which will be lost to the vast majority of the voters come November……

    A good, funny clip, but I’m afraid it gives the impression that opposing NAFTA is the same as opposing free trade. It’s not — I oppose NAFTA because I’m in favor of free trade.

    A free trade agreement would be a paragraph or two. One page, tops. NAFTA is tens of thousands of pages of trade regulation, not freedom.

    Good video, but the same argument is what I make AGAINST people who say “we need illegal immigrants to do the job Americans won’t”. No, most are doing jobs that can/will get replaced by robots but it is currently cheaper to just pay them slave wages than to develop the technology for those low skill jobs. So then if/when we give amnesty to millions of unskilled laborers and they are no longer cheap enough, and their jobs can be replaced by robots … then what? With our current welfare culture in this country, it’s a huge issue and probably one of the main reasons no politician is REALLY trying to do anything about the problem. Drew is right in the video that we have always found a way to adapt to newer types of jobs, but tens of millions of ‘extra’ unskilled laborers makes it a lot more difficult.

    There will always be more/different jobs. When the robots come, there will be a new class of lower tier jobs that Murricans won’t do.

    It’s a bit disingenuous to say that unemployment rates are lower, inferring that we are better off, and not cite the fact that there has been a stagnation in median income while the cost of living continues to increase.

    More people may be working, but they are working for less and paying more. These “feel good” shorties need a bit more beef and not so much fat.
