"Racism"...always need to get that word in to prove a poorly constructed analogy of the situation. Whatever of the parties ends up in charge couldn't get a lunch order together much less organize some sort of NAFTA retaliation plan. Reading the article, I'm just not following what the threat would be if Mexico decided to leave the table.

Bob, expropriation of American property to pay legal judgements, enormous fees for property taxes, physical violence against tourists in a titl for tat when dreamers are injured or killed resisting deportation to a foreign country..etc.
Plus if Obrador wins the pain begins...read your history of the Mexican war.Until Nafta, Mexico hated us flat out and still is suspicious...can't blame them..

Jerry, Scroll up and read PintoPoint's comment again. My feeling is that Mexico is a lot more dependent on the American dollar than America is on Mexico's. Property expropriations would in many cases be vacation, 2nd homes, investment property. Kick in the gut, but survivable. Sorta reminds me of that lady and her sister who's mom's house was taken over by the guy in Los Conchas, talk about expropriate. Legal judgments, fee's, property taxes it seems they keep making or enforcing as they go anyhow, so whats the difference. Violence towards Americans, would not only wreck their own economy, but probably add to the problem when the illegals in the US are sent back. I find it hard to believe it would get to that point, but articles written by people like Jorge don't help, and you can eventually blame them.

Jerry, I read the article when it came out on Politico too. I happen not to be a Trump supporter, but the article is basically an opinion piece, not hard news. Opinions are like (put your favorite generic body part here) everyone has one. Although it is possible the things in the article can happen, there is not supporting evidence to say it's likely.

I do great deal of research as my "job". I read literally hundreds of articles a week in everything from CNN to professional journals. After awhile you get a sense about when is commentary/speculation based on a view point as compared to what is strongly fact based. It was a well written story, but for me it doesn't pass the objectivity test that I would need to quote it for my research standards.

As a side note, I hope the writer isn't correct :)
