That may be true. But either way, he supported free trade and furthered it as President. There is no denying this fact.
There's some truth to that. But most Democrats don't support free trade agreements (as can be seen with the NAFTA vote), while most Republicans do. That was my only point.
There is a difference between conservatives, liberals and political party. In your first posts, you stated
No,
conservatives do that. They support low taxes for the wealthy, a lower minimum wage, less regulation in financial markets, and trade deals that hurt American workers. They're quite open about it. This has led to wages stagnating and to a decline in the middle class, all while income for the wealthiest Americans (top 1-10%) has soared over the past 35 years.
Democrats are liberal, and the Rockefellers are liberal.

Birth of Nafta

"The difference between the Democrats and the Republicans, some say, is that the Democrats do it to us with lubrication. Poppy Bush probably could not have forced NAFTA through Congress. It took the Clinton side agreements to slide it through."
Their voting doesn't matter because both sides are controlled by liberals.
This link claims NAFTA was under Reagan but it is not correct/deceptive
This link shows that Rockefellers were earliest promotor of Nafta.

Reagan was most protectionist US president since 1950s. He did more than his predecessors in protecting US industry and the American People.

In a 2013 speech to a Brazilian bank, Hillary Clinton said (according to
WikiLeaks):
“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders…”
Funny thing about this dream…it’s been the same dream of the Republican Rockefellers for decades. The “dream” of dissolving the USA into Latin America goes all the way back to 1945 when Nelson Rockefeller tried to make it happen. Here is a quote from David Rockefeller’s
Memoirs:
“Nelson laid the foundation for a new “Inter-American” system, a true economic and political partnership within the hemisphere rather than just a security alliance. He…forged a hemispheric consensus…”
Note the “hemispheric” code-word in both quotes.
Nelson Rockefeller failed back then, but the Rockefellers kept trying and achieved a partial victory when Bill Clinton signed NAFTA into law in 1993.
The Clintons have
always worked for the Robber Barons, and Hillary still does.

Nelson Rockefeller's report on the Americas.
We believe that when Nelson Rockefeller gave his 1969 Report on the Americas, he laid the basis for such loyal employees as Henry Kissinger to prepare various proposals, which are now to culminate in NAFfA [North American Free Trade Agreement]. In 1975, Kissinger proposed the formation of a world raw materials bank. Richard Nixon received from Nelson Rockefeller himself a proposal to base foreign policy on an "international division of labor," ac cording to which the underdeveloped countries would be mere providers of raw materials. . . .
This was before Reagan even went into office.
