" I think Hillary is smart enough to recognize the shifting consensus away from free trade at all costs globalism."

From her rhetoric she definately has picked up on that. But the powers behind the throne in the Democratic party are as pro-globalist if not more as the Republican party backers.

Having said that she can run on a moderately anti-globalist platform.. and tarriffs for blue collar workers.. then be a globalist when she is elected. No rule about that.

Look at the NAFTA vote. The entire Democratic base was against it. It only passed Congress with all Republicans and some New Democrats.

Free trade split both parties along class lines. But now the difference is that white collar professionals have learned that they are every bit as economically vulnerable as auto workers were. Any job that is done in front of a computer terminal can be shipped overseas.
