since I was a kid. I've followed politics since before the Vietnam war when I was a teen anti-war protestor.

I like his erudite writings, but he's still the old lame establishment. They gave us nothing but bad trade agreements

Republicans have long supported free trade -- and now find themselves torn between a protectionist President and a business community that sees Trump's position as detached from the reality that new technology, rising wages and an increasingly interconnected world mean that many manufacturing and low-skill jobs won't return to the United States; that goods are sold cheaper in the United States because they are made overseas; and that American companies also benefit from trade deals, making trillions of dollars selling their own products oversees.

Those GOP principles were on display in the reaction to Trump's move.

"I don't see any benefit in trying to crawl back into our shell as a country," Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, told CNN.

Now you're getting it, the Energiewende has been a major disaster for Germany, all because Merkel couldn't form a coalition without the braindead Greens.
