I’m starting to wonder if folks who consider themselves true conservatives understand what Reagan was about.

Yeah, me too.

Reagan was a major supporters of global trading. When the Democrats and their union cronies wanted tariffs to keep out the Japanese, Reagan wouldn’t allow it.

Yet he played tariffs where needed. Ask Harley Davidson.

I am all for global trade, as are most conservatives, but not at the expense of our industry, security, and sovereignty. Trade for trade's sake will fail us miserably.

And it’s important to note with who we’re trading. Japan, Canada are one thing, but where’s the “free” in free trade with China? Not on the assembly lines.
