@Debra Law,
I agree with her, we don't want a new direction. After all, Hillary won the popular vote by a large margin and just slimly lost the three swing states. I don't think we need to go in another direction exactly, just expand on the direction we have been on for the last thirty years.
Unlike some, I will explain what I mean by that. I mean, from what I have read, we lost those swing states to blue collar or white poor working families. With the decrease demand in coal energy and manufacturing technological advances, a lot of those lower skill workers have been left out in the cold and I am not so sure trade deal alone will address those issues.
