It's not a done deal. It's probably a negotiating tactic, but it's something no Democratic president would ever do. Trump could forever turn the Rust Belt red with this.
Trump's policies on immigration may get lots of headlines, and cause gratuitous beating of breasts and gnashing of teeth amoung liberals, but back in the real world immigration policies barely even register with a vast majority of Americans.
It simply isn't important on Main Street.
It won't be concertina wire stream form the Gulf of Mexico to San Diego. It won't be a big trench, although that could possibly serve as dumping grounds for toxic waste and oil spills. (Now don't go lecturing me about the Rio Grande and the millions of people who depend upon its waters). It won't be electrified chicken wire fences.

What is the TPP and Why do we need to Stop TPP?
If Hillary Clinton is a true liberal, as Markos Moulitsas has so definitively asserted, then it creates a framework for healing the wounds that have divided the Democratic Party.
At the same time, it stands to reason that Hillary Clinton’s refusal to acknowledge the growing rift between party members creates an almost insurmountable obstacle. As is common in all sick families, a problem that isn’t acknowledged can’t be cured. And there are many grievances to be healed.
