Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the intellectual leader of the modern conservative movement and the catalyst behind much of the rise of nationalist populism in this election cycle, told Breitbart News exclusively that he thinks there's much about 2016 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump for voters to like when it comes to the issue of trade negotiations...
Sessions, who is standing up for American workers on this issue, told Breitbart News that the reason nobody on Capitol Hill or in the political class - save for Trump - really seems to be fighting this is "complicated," because the polling data so clearly shows Americans are widely opposed to these types of trade deals...

Nice!!!
Globalist Ted must hate this.
Sessions sends another great Trump signal!!
Go Trump!!
Go Sen Sessions!
HOORAY Sessions
HOORAY Trump
Great interview, thank you.
Wow, thanks. Hope this gets mainstream attention.
This is not good for Cruz.
If anyone is afraid of a trade war, it’s too late.
We are already losing, and Obamatrade wants to unilaterally disarm us, leaving us helpless against those who would bleed our economy dry.
Marco is on the wrong side of this issue, and Ted has been on both sides.
We need someone who understands the art of the deal.
Thanks Jeff for your help and for sending your key staffer to help the Trump campaign.
I would put Jeff’s name in the mix for VP consideration if it goes Trump’s way.
Open borders crowd hates Trump.
One od Sessions; senior staff just joined Trump. Big news.
Jeff Sessions is a great American.
Trump wants to raise Tariffs.
Crummy Federal Reserve, Stock Market volatile and down, with global economic slowdown, including a slowdown in trade, then you add protectionism.
Did protectionism make the great depression? No. But it helped sustain the great depression, by adding an additional brake on trade. Tariffs become a tit for tat game which everybody eventually loses from.
Trump and Sessions are wrong or maybe Sessions is just conveniently ignoring that Trump wants to raise tariffs.
It will work like the last time Republicans favored raising tariffs, in the 1930s; which is it didn’t work.
Getting better trade agreements, and negotiating strongly to do that is one thing, unilaterally raising tariffs is neither particularly conservative or liberal; its just not smart.
Who around this joint thinks Trump and his 45% tariff on Chinese goods are a good idea? Now, how many believe Trump will actually try to do just that?
Your answers to those two questions will indicate what level of knowledge you have about international trade.
Ping!
Boom!
Who around this joint ****

Big news.
