Were aren't on the brink asshole. We went into the brink,

Ditch Mitch, his wife is a member of rump's team. This may be to give the dummy room to quietly reverse any talk of Chinese sanctions and the resulting loss of revenue for Mitch. I don't want to know what filth goes on in Mitch's chamber.

Mr. Turtle is a Chinese Lobbyist and has no stature to do anything on this. Too bad for you.

Don’t expect him to, but he can rein trump in. If not, it’s bad for you too, don’t you think?

like most in Congress...except worse by degree. He has no influence or standing in anything these days. Too bad for you....on trade.

I thought that is Exactly what being a Democrat is all about? Are you actually for Rich Corporations and their Republican Contributors like the Koch Brothers? Say it ain't so Hoyt... but of course it is true. Isn't it?

the rest of the world, type. On this junk, trump and Sanders are pretty much the same.

over Decades particularly with China and Asia; losing many industries as a result of it, can you describe Your Plan on remedying this secular trade imbalance? I mean something other than: Oh Yes, Let's Triple Down on this Insanity with TPP!

I think we went through this debate numerous times before the primaries were over.

We’ve taken more than our fair share of the world’s resources and wealth. Now is not the time to leave early after we’ve cleaned the table. To help “workers,” tax the hell out of those who’ve accumulated the wealth. But withdrawing from the world, hoping for utopia trading among ourselves, is folly, whether trump or Sanders are uncouraging it.

You are full of questions, so here is one for you — Did you support Clinton when it counted, even though she didn’t share trump and Sander’s desire to renege on trade deal and impose tariffs?

Our export profile is similar to 3rd world nations. We export our natural resources and agriculture products and import finished goods, largely on credit. That does not sound like Trading except as Trading Places which seems to be Your Platform.

Try Selling That to the Electorate in the Next Election. I'd love to hear your Globalist Wing of the party explaining to the American Public that we had it too good for too long and it is time to ship away whatever industrial wealth is left in this country in the name of "Global Responsibilities".. whatever the hell that means. Might be a tough sell Hoyt.


Oh and Hillary. A few of us warned more than a few of you about that one. Glad you brought up her global views on trade up. That was a big factor in her demise, along with her inability to articulate any strong reason to vote for her other than being experienced.

think your hero screwed up bigly.

There is no good reason for the tariffs.

No spine.

Your fuhrer wrote checks that your state is gonna cash big time!

Can't Congress stop that DICtator.

Mitch and two family members owe their employment to Trump.
