The problem is you people think all Republicans are the same. When there are only two parties, you get a wide variety of views funneled into those parties. Ron Paul was very popular among Republicans. And before him Ross Perot, who basically gave Clinton the White House in 1992 by taking a huge percentage of voters who would have voted for George H.W. Bush. His #1 issue was anti-NAFTA. They didn't "suddenly become doves" or "became anti-trade". They have always been there, but the party didn't have to listen until 2016.
