Should the Mid 2015 15" MacBook Pro Trackpad Click?

Okay, I feel so dumb. I recently got an iMac and so I have been going back and forth between my MacBook Pro and iMac. I feel like before when I tried to highlight text, that I could click using the trackpad, but now when I try to highlight, my trackpad doesn't click. BUT, this might be because I am used to using my bluetooth mouse for my iMac now. Is my trackpad supposed to click on my Mid 2015 15" Retina MacBook Pro and if not, how in the heck do you highlight text? It only partially highlights whenever I double click on say, an email address. I can't get it to highlight the whole thing. Thanks in advance.

one click (tap) to select, another tap to select, a third tap to select all ?
