Surveillance is a bipartisan interest, and neither candidate would or will limit US surveillance capabilities.

We do this to ourselves, by electing to only use products that are marketed to us as safe or private. Of course, the only businesses successful enough to mass-advertise their products are the ones that acquiesce to horrible surveillance states like China, Russia and FIVE-EYES. So... NSA wins, fearmongers and paranoia-mongering politicians win, international adversaries win, and all American voters on either side of the aisle lose. We're just too dumb of a nation to seriously resist surveillance, no matter who wins whatever election.
