The New Hampshire primary is now just one day away, and differences between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton couldn't be clearer, especially when it comes to so-called free trade.

While Secretary Clinton's views on corporate-managed trade have changed a lot over the years, Bernie's haven't.

He opposes and has opposed every single one of the so-called free trade deals we've entered into since the 1980s.

He also now says that he would reject the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, if elected president.

This is a big deal, and yet another sign that a Bernie Sanders presidency would do wonders for working Americans.

Even so, the corporate media will probably still paint it as a dangerously radical move; an example of how Bernie Sanders is just too far out of the mainstream to be a viable candidate.

But here's the thing: the idea that we can undo or reject bad so-called free trade agreements isn't that radical.

It's actually pretty mainstream, or at least used to be.

In fact, back in 2008 even Hillary Clinton said she would consider opting out of NAFTA if, as president, she couldn't renegotiate better terms for American workers and the environment.

Hillary Clinton was right then, and if she came out and said that today she'd still be right.

The fact is that so-called free trade has been a complete and utter disaster, both for Americans workers and the American economy.
