I would like to see a free-trade agreement dealing with medicine to reduce prices, such as from Canada, other countries.This is asinine. SHould a poor person be able to get a need based scholarship to a University, then sell that scholarship to the highest bidder? Many American deugs are sold at discount prices to poorer countries (and socialist ones.) Those sales cover the incremental costs of making the drugs, but not the upfront costs of developing them. Should the US gov't ban the selling of any product to another country at less than the cost they are sold here?
In many cases, there is little or no cost for getting a drug approved in a country. (Compare that to the billion or so dollars it may cost here.) Should those countries pay higher prices to subsidize our American FDA?

We can take this U.S. Senate seat. She's got more faith than I have.

It's kind of silly to ask someone to leave who's trouncing them in the polls. So we're fine, we'll move forward.
...
As for the polls, we laugh at the polls.
So when the polls favor you, they're a good indicator...but when they favor your opponent, you laugh at them.
This woman is truly delusional.
