Re: 2016 Election
As regards to Trumps failed lawsuit over a Nevada polling place that as legally required remained open so those still in line could vote.......they also asked the judge to order that the names of the poll workers be released to them...also shot down. Clearly they only wanted to sic their twitter trolls on them.
They also wanted the voting records of who voted after regularl hours so they could see who the late voters were. What a complete asshole.

Not really. All bar one of those studies agree that the impact has been minimal. The one that claims 800k job losses merely extrapolated from the increase in the trade deficit with Mexico since NAFTA passed, hardly an economically reliable way to do it.
There is far more evidence that China's emergence as an economic power has had a large effect on US jobs and there is no specific trade agreement with them.

I am not sure the criteria used on some of those studies, in particular whether they included the cost to economy and society of the multiplier effect of lost jobs and the social benefit cost.
