NAFTA isn't free trade lol

It was negotiated and put into practice by a Democrat (Clinton), so how is that relevant at all?

Also, a lot of people want to see China get fucked. This might not be a Republican value, but it is certainly an American value that goes back to the Federalist era. You don't want foreign industry making all your essential products because stuff like the coronavirus happens.

Difference between producing medical masks and ventilators in your own country because of epidemiology and sitting down with large steel/aluminum companies to tell them they will be protected by tariffs on Chinese goods. I take it back, Republicans have been doing this since the Federalist era.

Always a campaign promise, never actually put into practice. I doubt (Republican X) would be any different than Trump. Also Trump has been fiscally responsible in some regards. Cutting funding for the W.H.O. is a recent example.

We give WHO $400 Million dollars a year. Not fiscal responsibility, just politics. Trump tweeted this morning that the Navy will sink Iranian gunboats if they "harass our ships at sea". Starting a trillion dollar war (which I get he hasn't done yet, but he also hasn't stopped any) is not fiscally responsible.

a politician has to keep you happy during election time not the 4 years after

never trust a candidates campaign when it matters

you should look at who worked hard when it didnt matter to them

i say if sanders is availible vote to him

or give a third party a tactical vote

Told y’all. Let’s do this!

Shame Bloomberg dropped out that guy seemed like a cool fellow !!!

The Federalist party was the proto-Republican party, so yes, protective tariffs are a traditional value of the Republican party.

Trump's policy in the Middle East is only popular among his boomer supporters. I see the intervention in Iran as an inevitable consequence of the Israeli lobby, which elects all presidents whether it be an Obama, a Trump, or your Amash.

You have an electoral college, stop pretending like your votes matter. With Sanders and Yang gone, you will get an establishment candidate who will come in, and come out, having changed nothing.

I'm gonna go ahead and say based

Based on what?

Go for it. In Canada, we unfortunately didn't elect Maxime Bernier (basically our Ron Paul) when he left the Conservatives... he ended up getting 1.6% of the vote and 0 seats.

Okay Anti-Semite. What's your evidence? Bernie is tough on Israel and still raises a shit ton of money and almost won the DNC nomination twice (if he wasn't cheated out of it).

I live in Pennsylvania, which is objectively the second most important state this November for the Electoral College. First is Michigan. Amash is from Michigan. If he makes Joe Biden lose to Trump in Michigan, and gives Trump the election, that really sucks for Joe Biden, and it would also be 100% Joe Biden's fault if he lost. He's run for president twice already. Be a better candidate. Stop trying to cheat out better candidates. Also remember that there is no way to prove how a third party candidate affects the race between two candidates, let alone Jesse Ventura + Amash.

Nah. He spent almost a billion dollars for his run (he's in the top 15 richest people in the world) and was basically a Biden clone with no momentum and no enthusiasm

Liberals/Progressives need to face the reality that America will never have a Scandinavian-like Welfare state (free healthcare/college

The new world countries, (Canada, US, Australia, New Zealand) were all wealthier on average than those countries in Europe because they had abundant natural resources but a small population. Thus wages were quite high because labor was in high demand. Now, with massive immigration and dwindling natural resources, the ratio of natural resources to people is leveling off and even declining in the US which is why we have had stagnant wages for 50 years. Wages will continue to decline until US wages reach their European counterparts. Most jobs in the US still pay more than in Europe.

When this happens then the US will need to develop a European welfare state.

Another way of saying the same thing....

What do you think the frontier expansion was all about? It was about giving poor Americans land. And in those days land = wealth. The Rich and middle class paid for the army. The Army killed the Indians. And then the property was sold at a unthinkably high discount to the poorest Americans. Some rich people benefited from Western Expansion like in the south but it was mostly poor people and immigrants settling the west.

When the US ran out of arable land around 1875, the poor began to pile up in the inner cities and massive economic inequality emerged. It wasn't long after the US ran out of land, that unions started to form and began agitating for free handouts.

Libs and Progs managed to turn socialism into *deconstructing and looting Western culture* what an ironic twist.

Amash has no realistic path to win. Love the guy, but a vote for him is only a protest vote. IMO. A vote for Amash helps Trump.

Bernie lost. He got obliterated in the South. nothing was "stolen" from him.
