Trade: On the campaign trail, both Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have become increasingly anti-free trade. Free traders may be in for a nasty surprise.

That is a misleading sentence.

Republican candidate Donald Trump favors free trade deals that benefit Americans, in stark contrast to Hillary Clinton who currently is against free trade.

But what are her positions worth; are they not available to the highest bidder?

These people think “free trade” was on the stone tablets Moses brought down. Their idea of free trade is unilateral disarmament by the USA while every other country on earth has unlimited trade barriers. They completely ignore the fact that the US became a colossus due to its mercantilist policies, copied to a tee, today, by China. Their idea of free trade is nothing but a series of transfer payments from America to all other nations. Combine it with open borders, massive debt, endless war and a welfare state and you have the Wall Street Journal et al. unabashedly promoting the ruin, yes the ruin, of the USA. But “Smoot Hawley” braying is nothing but globalist agitprop.

Hillary Clinton will be 100% on board with all of these trade deals.

She's campaigning against them because she needs the support of labor unions and their leadership, but everyone -- including the people at IBD who write these stupid articles -- knows that she would swim to Korea to sign the TPP if the price is right.

This is why all of the big-government globalists of BOTH parties are lining up to support her.
