Free Trade: A few people get to sell some things overseas, but the majority of Americans lose their jobs otherwise.

Trump’s greater success thus far to the primary electorate leaning toward populism, but saluted Cruz for “drawing his differences quite well” with Trump during Thursday’s encounter – a vitally important task for Cruz, as the once-crowded GOP primary moves into a two-candidate head-to-head finale.

What a lie...Cruz didn't point out any differences...He lied again and told the audience that Trump's position were in line with Hillary's positions when in fact Trump's positions are more conservative and more pro American than Cruz's...And of course Trump responded brilliantly each time 'without actually calling Cruz a liar'...

“absolute bull shit born of total ignorance and spewed in a viscious lie”

Written like a third grader, and the logic is too.

Clean out the whole Washington rat’s nest. End career politicians and those career staffers. Elect people who have real careers who want to serve the nation for a limited period of time. Ya know those real Patriots like Trump!

He’s got free trade confused with (un)fair trade.

Wrong. Free trade has offset some of the disastrous policies pushed by Republicans and Democrats alike — things like racial and sexual quotas, the destruction of the family, open borders, socialism, and environmental fanaticism. The American people will screw themselves if they allow Trump — or the Democrats — to start a trade war.

The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.

Every candidate should have been saying that since day one, and proposing their cures.

“... one of the early things I would do, probably before I even got in — and I wouldn’t even use — you know, I have — I know the smartest negotiators in the world. I know the good ones. I know the bad ones. I know the overrated ones.”

I have absolutely no idea what this sentence is about.

He is telling you that he is able to delegate tasks to those best able to handle them, and expects you to assume that he will do exactly that.

Few if any, which is why I butt heads with other conservatives on this issue.

“Free Trade” has, in summary, for about the last century mean “other nations are free to uproot our manufacturing capacity and export jobs by the tens of thousands in a one-way trip overseas mostly in exchange for poor-quality goods and services, creating an unwinnable and increasingly perilous position for American workers.”

Brother, that ain’t free and that sure as hell ain’t trade!!!
