Plus the end-of-Cold-War “peace dividend” and the declassification of the internet, leading to the tech boom.
Both want more illegal immigration.
Both want more h1b immigration.
Both want a faster path to citizenship.
Both want expanded traded deals like NAFTA & TPP that ship jobs overseas.
On the other side you have Trump and...Bernie Sanders. That's right, Bernie.
Both want to crack down on illegal immigration (Bernie focuses on the fact that is suppresses wages for the poor),.
Both are against trade deals like TPP (Bernie says they destroy American jobs).
Both want to crack down on h1b visas.
Who said the following:
A number of U.S. employers, including some large, well-known, publicly-traded corporations, have reportedly laid off thousands of American workers and replaced them with H-1B visa holders. To add insult to injury, many of the replaced American employees report that they have been forced to train the foreign workers who are taking their jobs
We respectfully request that you investigate the unacceptable replacement of American workers by H-1B workers to ascertain whether SCE or any other U.S. companies that have engaged in this practice, or the IT consulting companies supplying those companies with H-1B workers, have violated the law.
It was Bernie Sanders, but it could have come right out of a Trump statement.
The story being missed isn't Trump. It's Sanders. Very little analysis is being done about the Bernie phenomenon, because we have a knee jerk reaction that Bernie's just a left wing socialist, so his followers must just be a bunch of kids that want free stuff.
But, if you dig deeper, you'll find his supporters are asking the same questions Trump supporters are asking: why don't our economic politics benefit American citizens? At its root, the Bernie movement is also an American nationalist movement.
There is a realignment going on in both parties, and it's along NATIONALIST economic lines.
It's no wonder the GOP establishment is courting Hillary. Her positions on economics are the same as their own. Heck, after this election cycle, they may end up in the same party.
I'm not sure how things will fall out, but it's clear that a massive realignment is on the way. The concept of conservative and liberal will be blurred--if they exist at all, because the new alignments will be nationalist vs globalist.
She is one of them at heart, that is why she has always been acceptable to them.
On November 8, we’ll choose between Clinton and Trump. It’s not so much that he is better, though he is. But she fails to meet minimal standards a conservative or a Republican should insist on. A vote for Clinton would be wrong. Voting for a third-party candidate or not voting would be half a vote for Hillary. To defeat her and the myth, a vote for Trump is required.
I think the Weekly Standard is feeling some heat from it’s readers and had to put in an article to make it appear that they ‘balanced’ in their approach to Trump.
You sir, really are an idiot. A really irritating idiot.
First; Why don’t go back an read what I wrote.
Second. Don’t you know, idiots Trumpeters such as yourself are going to piss enough of us Trump supporters with your blind devotion to Trump that off that we stay home. If You do not like that, then shut the flock up and for God’s sake do not bother me again.
