Sigh. If you do not recognize what, "opening up China", NAFTA, CAFTA, or any other trade deals made since the 70's have been to the detriment of America, you are lost.
Yep, I must be lost because I think, despite some drawbacks (like anything), those have had a net positive overall.

I guess you can join the Berniebots and Occupy Wall Street since they agree with your view; I'll stand with the free-market economists and my fellow consumers who prefer lower prices and value competition.

The Repubs haven't helped him. And we knew they wouldn't. Draining the swamp and all. Mark Sanford from SC screwed the pooch. He's still on the Gov't dime. Dem, Repub it's all the same. Why do you hate against a Prez. that wants to make things better? With no help, mind you. You're just "Us vs. them". Which is what they want. They are just the other side of the same coin.

No. The unions care about facts as much as the Berniebots, which is obviously very little. Free markets, supply & demand, and outperforming the competition, are unfortunately often seen as barriers so forceful removal of those barriers is acceptable.

I'll put it to you this way, how many teams have you seen that didn't succeed because they failed to buy in to the coach's wants?

Honey, I just explained my expectations.
Got it?

You voted for Hillary through out. Live with that stupidity.

Do something unique . . . . . OWN IT!

Patience, TF...the RINOS have painted themselves into a corner; we are going to have 6 mos. of big time bitching/threats with Trump slamming anybody who don't get on board with what will be the 'nuclear option' in the Senate. The Dems WILL pull that if they ever get control again, and Trump and the Reps KNOW it.

I suspect we are looking at the 'perfect storm' which will break the Dem 'filibuster' hold once and for all in the Fall. And we will find out what a lot of us suspect, whether or not our whole economy is riding on inflation-based/credit bubble spending that can never be stopped. I suspect that it is, and that until the Trump Tax Reform/Trade/Immigration Policy takes hold...it will be that way. It'll be spend...or crash.

Yes. Your views appear to be similar to Berniebots as it relates to the evils of market globalization. What to tell you?

Thanks for the advice, but that's probably good advice for someone who needs the government to fix his/her problems, like those crying for protectionism.

Usually a good sign of a poor leader is one who can't get people to buy into the plan, although in this case I just don't think his plan is one that can get unanimous support because of vulnerable districts.

You keep saying that. Do you understand what super majority means? GOP does not have a super majority.

Not really...Trump is the only one who could have beat Hillary....everyone else would have gone along with the 24/7 liberal media Clinton campaign plan and got their asses handed to them. No Hillary...plus Gorsuch til October. I'll raise your moron to you are cocksucking idiot as shown on a daily basis. Now go ponder how great that Bergdahl swap was...sucker.

And you will applaud. Until you're on the breadline. That's for other people. But what if your down and out and he was your only shot?
Let me guess. You would run a batch to him every night until you got a job and felt comfortable and then vote Dem.

You are still going to vote for the entire Republican ticket every election.

You nailed it.

These pieces of shite that we continue to elect are not serving us. We are serving them.

Don't be to upset with them. They are just following orders from their corporate puppet masters.

That may well be true. But this is why we get shite donw when we're in control in Washington. The Democrats always get their agenda passed ; the GOP fails embarrassingly
