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 Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
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.
