8. Sounds like a vote for "bad guy" just doing a job knowingly selling shitty policies to get paid.

That is, at least borderline, corrupt - "I'm just doing this job to get rich, not to do you regular people any favors." I suspect many here agree with you.

There's so much evidence of the results of NAFTA, PNTR and WTO.

Obama may well agree with you. If he liked NAFTA as is, there is not much reason to include Canada and Mexico in the TPP. Likewise with the other 4 countries (Australia, Chile, Peru and Singapore) in the TPP which we already have 'free trade agreements' with.

He may think that NAFTA (and the other existing agreements) and WTO rules (that now apply to the other TPP countries) will remain unchanged.
