Back when NAFTA passed in 1993, a guy named Tom Sawyer was a so-called Democrat Congressmember from Ohio who voted for NAFTA. He was, then, beaten in a 2002 primary because of his NAFTA vote.

Well, Tom tried for a comeback, running in the Democratic primary in the 13th Congressional District in Ohio to succeed Sherrod Brown who is running for the U.S. Senate (Brown is a terrific candidate who is adamantly opposed to so-called “free trade”). He was beaten soundly by former State Representative Betty Sutton who won the race partly because she pledged to oppose future so-called “free trade” trade deals.

A good lesson that others should pay attention to.
