Hillary supporters have jump the shark-supporting NAFTA.

Hillary supporters have jump the shark, there are two OP in General Discussion: Primaries supporting NAFTA. One of them even claimed that being anti NAFTA and TPP was right wing. The irony is, these are the same people who complain when people say Hillary Clinton is neo liberal and a member of the Third Way, but NAFTA is the pinnacle of the Third Way polices.

They don't seem to care about truth or principles, just what Hillary says or what will help her.

that might explain why they perceive opposition to agreements that have decimated the working class as being to their right
