    "My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere," Mrs Clinton said.

    Wait - that's the leak?

    That evil witch. Striving for sensible, achievable goals through compromise. Oh the humanity.

      Do you seriously want to give up our sovereignty? Because that's what "hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders" means. Personally, I don't think it's a good idea. I am not an isolationist, I support common sense trade policies that favor US workers. But, those don't happen because when an American CEO says "open trade" they really mean "the ability to send jobs overseas and not pay for it, but reap massive stock bonuses for myself".

        Jobs nothing. "Open trade" in the sense that Sec. Clinton uses it means outright slavery and future efforts to ban said slavery would be "restraint on trade." It may be amusing to pretend one presidential candidate is bad and the other good. It's also wrong. Both hypothetical future administrations are nightmares-in-waiting.
