If Democrats want to beat Trump, they better not nominate a ‘free trade' candidate
By Thom Hartmann A...
"[Americans'] patriotism would certainly prefer its [tariffs'] continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers."- President Thomas Jefferson, 1806 State of the Union message to Congress
How could Democrats guarantee a second Trump term? Come out in favor of so-called "free trade."
When Walter Mondale was nominated by the Democratic Party to take on Ronald Reagan in 1984, he uttered, in his acceptance speech, a single line that did more than anything else that year to lose him the election.
He said, "Mr. Reagan will raise taxes and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did."

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
It's unbelievable that the president of the U.S. isn't required to have Top Security Clearance. Anyone else has to have one in order to see any top security papers. How is he any different? If all candidates had to go through the proper channels to receive a top security clearance, we wouldn't be having the problems we are having now. Isn't national security of utmost importance? Is Barr even cleared for top security info? Weren't Jared & Trump's kids declined? You asked, what can be done... this is an excellent place to begin.
