    Can't we just send them all home, and start over with no political parties?

    What are you talking about - they wrote the trade legislation - not Trump. You really are very poorly educated

    Lol, you go ahead and give the Dems credit for what should have been passed a year ago and has cost the economy billions of dollars from them dragging their feet. You’re a phony.

    Sorry, amigo, but you are straight wrong about this.

    Plus, I thought China was paying all the tariffs anyway?

    I get it Trump should have never renegotiated the bad trade deals but since he has we will take credit and criticize him for doing it all wrong. Remember heads exploding? Trade Wars!!!

    Wait? Are you living in a world where you believe the trade wars with China helped the U.S.?

    Let's look at how much extra the taxpayers of the United States have paid. Look at how much taxpayer money was given out for nothing to the farmers (mostly large corporate farms rather than the family run operations).

    So you’re saying a renegotiated trade deal with China without repercussions would have been preferable or maybe just not did anything at all and let China keep raping us?

    Are you aware of something called the WTO? Do you know the United States rate of success against China in the WTO?

    It is crazy to think the only two options are a trade war where the U.S. taxpayers pony-up billions and billions of dollars while getting nothing in return or letting China rape us. Those aren't the only two options.

    The best thing to do is to work and gather allies to join in expediting the WTO process and beef up their enforcement.

    I know it's hard to do when Trump doesn't understand how to work with allies or care about the U.S. taxpayers who aren't his family.

    I will ask again, are you aware of the success rate in cases against China from the United States before the WTO?

    If you were, you would see that your question doesn't really make sense.

    This is quality comedy. Like a monkey hit on the knee with a tiny hammer will jerk his leg up reflexively....

    Some people just say "Obama" whenever politics are brought up, like his name is a curse or something.

    Wait you mean war has costs? We all thought it was going to have no effects at all!

    Sure must be hard to ignore China killing Muslims, taking our intellectual property, plus jobs and business, and trying to supplant the US. You are blind to ignore how much control we have still and how we should use it. Thank god someone as weak as you is not President.

    I see the ignore feature paying dividends in threads like this.

    We all should know this but the challenge will be messaging. Simply a repeatable statements that cut through the noise. Find a way in every interview or public statement to remind folks that 270+ bipartisan bills are refused to be taken up by McConnell AND Trump(he deserves blame here for not pressuring McConnell).

    LOL. You realize there are other options than just A. ignoring China killing Muslims intellectual property etc. or B. Starting a trade war which we are not winning, has brought on unparalleled acts of socialism from Trump's government, cost us, taxpayers, billions of dollars.

    But yeah limiting the responses to only those options is a real sign of strength. LOL
