Cotton is completely right on.
100%.
The huge problem is, a whole lot of people are more interested in making stuff in China, than making America stronger.
We need to return our focus to America.
Tom Cotton seems to get that. It's about time someone did.

Just saying.
America ran a hideous trade deficit with China just last year.

America needs to make things in America once again.

Yep, we could be great. We could leade the world again. We could do all sorts of things again, if it woeren’t for guilt ridden lefties and other commie turds.

I know you’re up to it.
Don’t you think the super bowl disaster is due to free trade?

It depends on what you consider bad or good, and what exactly you are looking at, to arrive at the conclusion America’s is/isn’t in decline.

Not too early. Cruz needs to snatch him before Walker does.
