Don't mock free trade, we've raised minimum wage in Haitian garment factories from $0.10 to $0.20 an hour with our progressive policies.

"You want mexican workers to be unemployed", I repeat as Mexican living standards shrink into nothingness thanks to free trade.

the Nazi march tonight reminded me that while actual fascists are marching with torches and intimidating minorities, the Democrats are too busy twiddling their thumbs up their rear end to do anything but pick fights over Twitter and attack that one guy I didn't really care for

now can someone help me push my car off this barge so I can float back to shore

that argument is the worst bullshit, because Republicans will call anything socialism if it comes from a Democrat

remember when the Republicans defeated his socialist plan to cut Social Security and Medicare?

someone finally found the problem with primaries, and the solution

the problem is that they're too democratic, and the solution is to make all the delegates into superdelegates

as proof, he points out that when Republican primaries were less democratic, they elected renowned moderate Abraham Lincoln - but when they eliminated all that backroom dealing and held delegates to what voters wanted, they got Trump

a quote from this guy:

quote:

A Trump nomination could well be costly for the party. If current polls are any indication, they could lose the presidency by a substantial margin, dragging down quite a few members of Congress and state legislators in the process, especially if Trump’s presence on the ballot drives up Democratic turnout. But the party should be able to recover from that. The presidency is obviously important to a party, but it is not all that a party is.

This is a non-starter. As tempting as it is, Everyone's learned by now that taking a job in the Trump admin is a recipe
For getting poo poo on over Twitter, then fired in 6 months. If we had a president Rubio or Cruz tho Manchin would definetly be interested.

is this like david clarke where manchin is announcing that he would be happy to lead the energy department if perry was to get fired or is trump going to fire perry for some reason

i think he might be moving perry to another post since once someone's confirmed they can shuffle through the posts without having to go by the senate again

would be nice if the governor of west virginia, who im guessing would appoint manchin's replacement, was still a democrat, but i guess you have to run compromise candidates like literal republicans to win in election in west virginia
