Trump may topple 'blue wall' before ever building border wall

Tear Down the (blue) Wall!!!!!

[DoughtyOne]

Standing before a blue collar audience at a steel mill near Pittsburgh, Trump vowed to not only fight to make things better for blue collar workers – but made it clear he will do so by shattering to smithereens the U.S. Chamber of Commerce free trade policy pedestal that has been the pet perch of the elephantine Grand Old Party ever since World War II.

About twenty years too late, but at least someone is focused on the right thing FINALLY!

[Robert DeLong]

Do you honestly think that Ted Cruz could have even had a remote chance of doing this? I’m not asking to be mean, I’m asking for your honest assessment.

A tariff shouldn’t stand alone in a tax plan (if an attempt is made to do that, it will probably look like Smoot-Hawley). But it could be balanced against a tax cut.

Martin Schram wrote the book on Jimmy Carter’s victory over Gerald Ford in 1976. He’s been around that long. This is great news.

There is theory and there is practice/ I have a few things bookmarked that document how tariffs are bad. Yet I can sign onto tariffs used as a 2x4 to get a trading partner’s attention and solve an issue, obviating the need for long-term tariffs. The thing is ... our negotiators have historically sucked!!! So there is no level playing field. If the Donald wants to renegotiate our agreements, so be it. I am willing to give him the chance.

I heard zero today stammering through a press conference and among other things he was saying you can’t go back to a non-globalist world because it’s so last century and technnology has changed everything. I wondered if he believed what he was saying....maybe he really believes as Soros tells him that there should be no borders in this world.

Smoot-Hawleydidn't have any effect on the depression. The depression deepened when the Federal Reserve tightened the money supply and FDR destroyed markets through government interference.

The idiot Obama doesn’t know what he’s stuttering about.

Bttt

I , as a past Cruz supporter, really don’t know what Cruz could have done in this area, but I do believe that if Trump wants to do it, he really needs Cruz on his team in some capacity.

[datura]

Except Cruz is a complete globalist in the purest Bush fashion.

We need to erect a gallows especially for the falsely-named U.S. Chamber of Commerce. They can even have new ropes.

[ronnie raygun]

We need to erect a gallows ...................period! The line would reach from NY to DC
