"Reagan proposed NAFTA as early as 1980, if I recall. Long before Perot even grew up. He also envisioned a FTAA. And, as I mentioned he was instrumental in the formation of the WTO.Note how no one talks about Obama being a protectionist because he placed a tariff on tires, or W. Bush because he placed a tariff on steel. But Reagan was a protectionist because . . . ."
Agree on that 2nd point. But as far as the first, it has to be something else you are thinking about.
Remember the "giant sucking sound"? That was Perot during one of the 1992 debates ( and he was sure right ). NAFTA was still being debated and he was already fighting against it.
If Trump becomes President I propose he give the Presidential Medal Of Foresight to Ross Perot for that, and his herculean Vietnam POW efforts.
So in other words, Perot was correct, and Reagan was incorrect . . . in your opinion.
