Trump: If we are losing 500 billion a year to China, and 58 billion to Mexico, maybe we NEED to ruin that kind of free trade.Advantage Trump

The establishment really doesn't want Trump.It makes you like Trump even more to know this.I wonder if we can have another roll call tonight and ask if the folks running will support the Republican nominee and not run third party.I guess its coming back to bite the Rep establishment for asking that. They were so afraid that a Trump third party run would cost them the election. Now they want to stop Trump from winning on the Republican ticket. The worm has turned

Re: Trump will ruin free trade (Romney)

Someone wasn't very smart in 'trade' to put us in the position we are in. Amazing how smart you are when you are not going to be held to your words. Mitt & Jeb were high on my list, but it is amazing how ignorant they were on the pulse of the base, the real base.Now they tout MITT as a conservative, most folk on this forum and many others called him a RINO. But now his wisdom will be decided by the polls and voters. I am anxious to see the poll numbers in the next few days. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

You guys need to go look at the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930 and see what that did to the global economy.

Not a good example IMO.Trump is not talking about massive protectionism. He is talking about China cheating through currency manipulation and making slight adjustments to off-set that to discourage the practice

China is the biggest trading partner we have, it will have a snowball effect on everything, even causing other countries to become more competitive than the US because they WON'T raise tariffs. Then what? We raise them on those countries to even the playing field? . If you have a better example of it working with our biggest trade partner, I'd love to examine it. Is what China does unfair? Yes, absolutely. Why haven't we just raised tarriffs on them before? Smoot-Hawley. China does not want to lose our business. They will back down. Funny though. The GOP was the party of tariffs in 1860 and was even willing to go to war to make sure a new nation to the South could not threaten them

I am not for isolationism, but I am for FAIRNESS. I don't think common sense adjustments will kill the goose. My man Perot said pass more of these Free trade agreements, and you will feel a big sucking sound as our jobs head South. He was right. Today I took a 4 mile walk. I passed 6 Textile mills that shut down in my home town due to FREE TRADE. There are 16 more shut down in this little town alone.One of the mills is now an import business. They hire 10 people, the mill did hire 350. Nothing wrong with requiring out military to wear uniforms made in the USA, or requiring 60% of the steel used in our bridges to be USA made. Someone is smart enough to figure a balance, not me, but someone is.I am not as sold as RS that Trump will/can do what he says. That is what we send those
