That is 100% enough reason to vote for him but a lot of people do not see utter doom poised to walk right in the front door. When people start to cry and moan and tear their hair after the reality of those trade deals sinks in it'll be just so much indecipherable yammering going in one of my ears and out the other. People who willfully vote for candidates who will, there is no question, ratify these deals deserve exactly what is coming down the pike. It's a real tragedy that the rest of us, the environment, and wildlife do not. Great video, by the way. These three agreements are a stunningly major step on the path to global corporate totalitarianism.
