In reply to the discussion: Geraldo Rivera is shilling for Sanders [View all]olegramps
(8,200 posts)As Michael Moore correctly observed as soon a Sanders entered the race Hilary was DOA. She was running against a person with negotiable party loyalty spewing the same economic message as Trump. Here is a person who has reservations about membership in the Democratic Party, with the same B.S. on tariffs, NAFTA and the TPP trade agreements as her opponent running against her. The crossfire became so bad that she had to rescind her support of the TPP.
The result is that China has taken over the field unopposed throughout Asia. China has launched its own version of the TPP with its trade agreement called the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership which includes 16 countries as compared to the TPP of 12 countries that would have covered 40% of the global economy and removed 18,000, (that is not a misprint) yes, 18,000 tariffs. Since our withdrawal giving China a clear field they haven't missed the lost opportunity and in addition to the latest agreement, China has signed trade agreements with Australia, South Korea and Singapore. My bottom line is no thanks, Bernie. His years of legislative history of naming two post offices and a vet bill stand in contrast to his proposed ridiculous utopia legislative proposals that have as much chance of seeing passage as a snowball in hell says it all for me.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
