Trade Agreements = Hillary's Achilles Heel

http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2016/03/13/hillary-clinton-complicated-history-with-trade-toughens-her-fight-win-ohio/EWLk9bPsFpo2MQR2QW6KuJ/story.html

Key quote (emphasis mine)

"All the foreign steel that’s coming in has destroyed our industry. We have thousands of people across the state out of work. I feel like the government just didn’t care,” said Betty Vazquez, a 49-year-old inspector shipper in the quality control department of Republic Steel who was laid off last July after 18 years.

Vazquez, a Democrat, is undecided about whom to vote for on Tuesday.

“I don’t know much about this Bernie but I’m going to learn more about him,” she said.

Just ran across it while checking RCP and found that particular quote telling. It shows that some of her poll numbers are still rooted in name recognition. As people get to know Bernie, they get to like him.
