Trump is looking to triangulate Bernie voters. What’s wrong with that?

I get that, in theory, free trade is beneficial and reduces prices. But the one thing the free traders have not been able to do or explain is how to bring good jobs back to the small towns of Middle America. Way too many towns have turned into drug-riddled Welfare dependencies where the only good jobs are government jobs. Factories moving to Mexico caused that. I’m not saying that the companies moving the factories are evil or made an irrational choice, but the end result was generations without jobs, living off Welfare and turning to drugs. What is the answer for these people? Screaming that Bernie Sanders is a Communist isn’t an answer.

When the Senate voted back in the Bush days on the government’s bill to bring in tons of migrant workers, Bernie Sanders voted against it. I remember writing him a letter thanking him for his vote. He replied that the law would have deprived young Vermonters of their jobs.

Even a stopped clock is right once in a while.

>On his radio program Friday, Mark Levin took time to explain the lunacy of Trump’s statement and why conservatives need to differentiate themselves from this phony, so-called “nationalist-populist” movement.”

Hey Mark? It’s time to retire. We’ve had a belly full of free trade for 40 years now. It doesn’t work for the middle or lower classes and it weakens our ability to make war. No amount of old man blather from you will change that.

Trade is not a Constitutional issue.

By the Constitution, the Federal government has control over trade. Period, full stop.

Trade is not a “conservative” or “progressive” issue.

It is a straight up economic issue.

Protectionist trade policies have worked very well for the United States in the past.

Free Trade policies have worked very well for the United States in the past.

It depends upon the times and the agreements, and how they are implemented.

It took me a while to understand this, but trade is not a Constitutional issue.

“Free Trade!” = Globalism.

“Fair Trade.” = American Workers First!

I have to laugh watching “True Conservatives” defend the system of Managed Trade created after World War 2 by European Socialists and American “New Dealers”.

We haven’t ever had “Free Trade”

Cumulus needs to trash-can Levin and put the very funny and talented Chris Plante (WMAL WashDC) in his place. Pull the plug on Glenn Beck too. Between the two of them, that’s six hours of unlistenable radio.

Free Traitor™ Levin has it backwards. Marx was a Free Trader and promoted the theory heavily. A Marxist would never be a protectionist like Trump and his fellow nationalists.

Levin is so full of HATE for Trump that our president can never do anything right in his eyes.

Levin is unlistenable. He is unhinged. He’s not as smart as he thinks he is either.

Levin is clearly in Glenn Beck territory, maybe worse.

Levin thinks unfair trade with other nations cheating the hell out of us is a great idea.

Somehow stupidity is being sold as conservative.

How ignorant can they get?

Mark...you used to be a smart guy. You got embarrassed by Trump and now you can’t look at reality if Trump has voiced it before you have. Get over it.

Go to the GOP-E Pawn Shop, buy back your brain, spine, and nuts, and then go back on air with a new insight into what conservative is to us common folk out here.

Hint: it isn’t stupid trade deals.

BTW, Levin is right — Bernie is a communist.

I have to agree with Trump on this. Bernie wants better jobs for workers.

Mark.... this is a sophistry on your part and you know it

The founding father put tariffs on trade ....it was built into the Constitution from the get-go to as a valid tool protect American Business and jobs....

You can agree or disagree with the merits of trade tariffs but George Washington used tariffs and George Washington was not a communist

Sorry but one world globalism it far more route core Communist idealism.... then National borders with trade tariffs ever will be

So it sounds like Mark prefers the current one way street, or so-called “free trade” over what’s best for America.
