NAFTA was good for US Manufacturing and millions of US factory workers? I'm sorry I am struggling with that.

So attempting to reward illegals is helping all those Americans who have been displaced in the construction trades? Yeah I am not buying that either. Not even a little.

Who has been displaced in the constriction trade for illegals? LIUNA does not do that. Perhaps private companies do that so they can pay them less.

These types of rants on cd, by the same ppl over and over are ever so tiring, because they are never genuine and always partisan. Toyman would have everyone believe that Trump and the republicans are actually for the working class, LOL.

It's called gaslighting, they do it to try to sway the few rubes on the fence to their side

Unions are a terrible drain on the economy and worker efficiency. the UAW is what broke Detroit.

The Dems have been giving lip service to unions since the 80's.

Republicans are actually the ones who did all the things you hate. Dems just got the blame, even while being in the minority, even while voting against those things.

Best example of this is Rob Portman somehow beating Ted Strickland in a senate race or John Kasich beating him in a gubernatorial race.

Ted voted against trade deals while in congress that both Portman and Kasich voted for. Yet somehow Ohio Dems get blamed for those trade deals.
