Basically, what Trump doesn’t want to say out loud is that he knows China will fold and make changes if he just THREATENS the tariff. That’s what he wants to do. Cruz wants some kind of middle ground thing, which is basically a cop out, relying on the tax plan he could never in a million years get passed to supposedly fix the problem.

Apparently, he’s under the impression that China would be unable to retaliate against his putative tax plan.

Cruz started off strong tonight, but at this point, he’s a complete joke. I can’t even believe I was a ‘Cruz or lose’ guy when he first declared.

I’ll ask one more time. Maybe no one is answering me because it’s a stupid question but this is not my field.

If China charged more due to tariff, wouldn’t it increase sales of American products, make us competitive? If I went to the store and there was a Chinese product that cost almost as much as the American product, there’d be no contest. And if I buy American, that’s helping our economy, not China’s.

Cruz is most comfortable in the damn policy weeds. What a yawner in this era of economic and security collapse.

Give me TRUMP all day long.

TRUMP, 2016
