How sad that members of his own party feel the need to reassure the world they will not allow their own candidate to destroy our relationship with our allies around the globe. A sign of things to come should the worst case scenario come to pass.
They will have to create a new department filled with people whose sole job is to run around after Donald Trump, stamping out the fires he starts with that big, ignorant mouth of his.
A few things:
First off, Obama has done far more to our "Allies" than any other President in the history of our country. Israel, the UK, Japan, Russia, and Poland have all felt marginalized thaks to Obama.
Secondly, Asking our allies to help defer the cost of us giving them protection is hardly going to "Destroy our relationship" with our allies. Quit bieng a hysterical drama queen
Who cares how it affects them if we are taking the brunt of the beating. We don't exist to make their lives easier and ours harder.
Well the thing is we are not. NAFTA is an treaty between the United States, Canada and Mexico. There are items we export to Mexico and items we import. Our economies are linked and sudden shifts would do a lot of damage. Mexico is the 2nd largest export market for the United States and Canada is the largest. How many jobs depend on exports to these places? How many depend on import from these places?
“I have spent my life building bridges and tearing down barriers–not building walls. That’s why I find Donald Trump’s belief that an American-born judge of Mexican descent is incapable of fairly presiding over his case is not only dead wrong, it is un-American.
As the Presidential campaign progressed, I was hoping the rhetoric would tone down and reflect a campaign that was inclusive, thoughtful and principled. While I oppose the Democratic nominee, Donald Trump’s latest statements, in context with past attacks on Hispanics, women and the disabled like me, make it certain that I cannot and will not support my party’s nominee for President regardless of the political impact on my candidacy or the Republican Party.
It is absolutely essential that we are guided by a commander-in-chief with a responsible and proper temperament, discretion and judgment. Our President must be fit to command the most powerful military the world has ever seen, including an arsenal of thousands of nuclear weapons. After much consideration, I have concluded that Donald Trump has not demonstrated the temperament necessary to assume the greatest office in the world.”.
Kirk's opponent, Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., has previously tried tying him to Trump. Illinois Democratic Party spokesman Sean Savett criticized Kirk.
"This comes after Tammy forcefully criticized Kirk yesterday for his silence over the Judge Curiel comments," Savett said. "Kirk has previously not just endorsed Trump but called him a 'net benefit' and offered to serve as his 'steady, conservative hand.' Those are hard to reconcile with your sources comments."

Actually, there are many industries have been hurt by this "deal" I blame both parties.
Kirk is disabled in a wheelchair. Trump probably does not know this. Hopefully he doesn't say something that can be taken the wrong way. Like Kirk should walk back his statement. The left would go nuts.
