The absence of free trade and isolationism are not the same thing at all. We were still trading with Mexico before NAFTA.

TPP isn't free trade. We're talking globalization. Not free trade. You're either not reading what I'm saying or not understanding that globalization does not equate to free trade. Help me out here, what are you missing? We trade with Mexico because we want to. NAFTA is just terms we set.
