Just to further explain the above.
NAFTA passed with 234-200 in the House of representatives.
132 Republicans voted for it along with 102 Democrats.
102 Democrats voted against it and 98 Republicans voted against it.
The "Middle" was for it. While both "Extreme wings" of the parties were against.
This is partially why Ross Perot got the crazy mix of voters he did.
Also worth noting, George W Bush actually implemented a universal Steel Tariffs. While Obama has also increased Tariffs, to my knoweldge it's only been specific tarriffs aimed at china as a pushback on their government keeping the Yuan artificially low. Which argueably could be seen as an act in favor of free trade.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley (which is the repealing of glass stegal) passed 362-57
People treat it like some HUGE controversial thing Republcians pushed through. When the reality was.... it had RIDICULIOUSLY huge bipartisian support of which is usually reserved only for fluff pieces of legislation.
207 Republicans voted for it along with 155 Democrats.
51 Democrats voted against it, vs only 5 Republicans....
however I find it hard to claim it's a "Right wing move" when 75% of the left wing party signed up for it.
When you call an action by 87% of Congress "Right wing"... I'm going to suggest that perhaps you are a bit more leftwing then you think you are... and that your opinion on what is right or left wing is a bit skewed.
