>>>Bush clearly wants a Dem as president<<<<<

NO. This truck agreement was part of NAFTA, signed in 96 by BILL CLINTON. Its the LAW, thanks to CLINTON, not Bush.

It was signed by Clinton, but it was initiated by George H W Bush. GW appears to be setting his father’s proposal into motion.

“In 1991 Bush [senior] proposed a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, which would lower or eliminate tariffs on trade between the three nations. The proposal, favored by Canada and Mexico, was designed to help North America compete against the growing free-trade zones of Europe and Asia. The agreement was eventually taken up by his successor, Bill Clinton, and ratified by the U.S. Congress in November 1993.”
