The bad thing would be how the loss of NAFTA could result in a net loss for the US. The US has a sweetheart deal with Canada with regards to Canada's oil. Make no mistake that if NAFTA were to be open for re-negotiation that oil would be on the table... and as Canada is the US's biggest supplier of oil I would be a huge loss to the US (and a potentially huge gain to Canada... at least in that sector).

And this is just one part of many that are a net benefit to the US.
