NO, he is not in the process of being nominated he is competing for the position. And you know what, the only people who should be worried about this are democrats and they are perfectly capable of speaking out, they don't need your help or your sympathy.

Are you saying that they don't allow comments at all, or that they somehow keep comments like yours from appearing? If the former, I applaud them.

Bush-41 was the author of NAFTA. It was he who signed it in December 1992, thereby sending it on for Congressional ratification in which more Republicans voted in favor of it than Democrats.

Opponents of free trade have meanwhile never taken a course in international economics. Trump's primary appeal on this and many other issues was to disappointed under-achievers, low-brows, and misfits.

With all due respect, I don't need your permission, either. It's still a free country, I will talk about things as I see fit. The Democrats seem incapable of realizing why they lost. They keep blaming racist sexist mysoginist redneck deplorables while it was their own party that alienated a very large segment of population. There's only four states left that have a Democratic governor and Democrat controlled House. Four out of fifty. This should tell them something.

You've just proven my point. Nothing I said was ever beyond the pale of a reasonable discussion, yet you just admitted you'd silence me if you could. A typical Leftist thinking.

Any sane professor of economics will tell you that free trade in which only one side gets to manipulate it's currency, use slave labor, illegal dumping practices, and a whole specter of laws and tariffs protecting it's internal market, is neither free nor fair.

Sometimes I have used those terms and other terms like them. If the shoe fits and all. But you really can't complain about any of that unless and until your are prepared to speak out for some inviolate form of Political Correctness. When should we expect that to happen?

I loved your examples, but don't bother backtracking. I'm already familiar with the standard defects in FOX News logic. In the real world of course, the right-wing is the home of both the born-followers and the authoritarian demagogues desperately yearning to lead them,. Over on the left, there are herds of cats. They are all independent thinkers and resistant to direction from above.

You mean IN GENERAL, don't generalize. As someone with dual Masters degrees ought to know, generalizing in specific instances can be a very powerful tool.

Both of your Master's degrees have failed you in spectaculsr fadhion. I applauded a potential refusal to permit a Comments section at all.

What YOU mean by "sane" above might well be seen by others as "whackjob nutcase isolationist right-wing lame-brain" instead. It's all in the biases one brings to the table.

So you think it's fine to call a person "trash". Good For You!

That's because some of our posters thrive on guilt by association.
