"And it really is about time that presidential candidates could dare to tell us that."

The problem is that every candidate that has doesn't get elected. It's the American people that are the problem. We don't intrinsically understand that our jobs for life are not guaranteed. Nor should they be. Until we Americans have the mindset that we are in control of our life and should not depend on the government this will not change. Even many so called conservatives don't understand the principle of capitalism. It's not about protectionism.

“It’s not about protectionism.”

It’s also not about stupid one sided trade deals...

Protectionism is conservative if you don't believe me just read about George Washington and the first congress. Protectionist policy conserves our industrial base. A child could understand that.

If the schools started teaching Capitalism 101, like they should have all along, then this wouldn’t be such a big issue. Instead they teach that Marxist crap which somewhat intelligent people learn is crap eventually.
