I'm a Clinton supporter and voted Clinton, but I since then became a Trump supporter simply because the lols were plentiful for the harvest. Dem voters on this forum think any of these Flynn things will ever amount to something, and it will great when this turns into a big wad of nothing.

It is.

Also you are correct that they should not have kept stuffing awful poo poo into it, but maybe the better solution would've been renegotiating it to strip out the dumb bullshit like "corporations can sue governments over lost profits." As it stands, those nations will basically just carry the deal to China, and China will gladly take the opportunity to press American interests in the region.

Renegotiate? With who? You mean with the industry partners that actually wrote it? Not much of a negotiation.

Also what deal do you think is going to be carried to China?

China has a 367 billion dollar trade defecit with America. The Fuhrer could tell them to gently caress off and they'd feel the pinch harder than America would. Though it would be hideously ruinous for both nations because America loves that cheap garbage and there is a growing percentage of it that is actually desperately needed. Also there are a lot of countries willing and able to sell America boatloads of garbage but very few with cash on hand to start buying billions with. Or America could start making boat loads of poo poo for itself, even if it means crossing the dangerous Rubicon of paying some one a living wage. The only reason their stuff is so competitively priced is because of the exploitative labor practices that democrats seem to love defending so vehemently when white people aren't the victim.

lol she deleted the subpeona'd emails, lied to the fbi and congress during the investigations, while slick Willy made some airport runway deal to prevent prosecution proceeding. It's not even cloak and dagger back room dealing you can watch it all on youtube right now. Meanwhile Obama was quiet as a mouse the whole time because he was to busy out stumping for her failure campaign while ignoring the Dakota pipeline fiasco hahahahaha.

well attacking trump worked great in the general, certainly no reason to change course and actually develop policies or positions that will attract people to the democrat party. Nope. Just keep crying about trump and everything will work out!

The democrat tried to do that with "not taking away your current healthcare" and "expand education so you can get job training" and then Trump voters decided a bigly wall was more convincing argument, so endlessly attacking them is the only right answer hth.

Well if they promise good viable policies then they may be forced to enact things that will tax the rich and deter their wealthy supporters.

They would much rather run on a simple platform of not being big baddie Trump, that way they can ????? and ???? and dog whistle moral support for black lives matter.

I don't really care if prices go up, but the idea that moving the sweatshops here, under a party that hates workers rights, livable wages, unions, people in general, is going to improve anything other than just moving the problem from one location to another is pretty retarded.
