and was a periodic guest on a radio program pushing that policy.

Interesting, how very little is being said about that now.

As the primaries proceed I will be interested if this is brought up, and watch to see if any backpeddling occurs

Bernie Sanders

1. 'Interesting, how very little is being said about that now'

Could you possibly flesh out your accusation? It's a bit threadbare. Name names!

2. don't encourage this

3. Hardly encouraging

This is not the place to be coy, and if anyone wants to make disparaging remarks about a Democratic candidate for President, then they should have the guts to name the individual to whom they're alluding.

5. Bernie Sanders

6. Why didn't you just say it was Bernie Sanders then?

If you're gonna diss a candidate, why not do it through the front door at least.

7. Because I thought it was obvious. He was on Bruch with Bernie for years pontificating this

but I will add it to the OP


Thanks

4. A Trip To Google Gave Me This....Yes?

• “Sen. Bernie Sanders releases a trade platform that calls for an overhaul of U.S. trade deals and labeling China a currency manipulator.
• It is a challenge to President Donald Trump, who has struggled to fully follow through on his trade promises, which overlap with Sanders’ goals.
• Sanders and others in the Democratic presidential primary field have aligned with Trump on some trade issues.
• Sen. Bernie Sanders and President Donald Trump are not all that different when it comes to trade policy.
•
• The Vermont independent and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate unveiled a trade platform Monday that challenges his rivals to take several steps he says will protect American jobs and boost wages. Trump has already backed — but failed to follow through on — some of the trade policies Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist and frequent target of conservatives, outlined in his trade plan.”

10. We should have tariffs, but not the way trump is doing it.

China has been punking us for decades, and laughing all the way to the bank about it.

11. Elizabeth Warren also supports tariffs on China. Probably other candidates as well...

"Former Vice President Joe Biden has similarly vowed to “get tough” on China through a “united front” with allies. Senator Elizabeth Warren has come out in favor of both continued engagement with China, on issues of common interest like nuclear proliferation, and the use of tariffs to counter Chinese policies that hurt American workers."

12. His views which much more radical than the others.. In fact, they were constantly quoting the

Monroe Doctrine to implement it

14. Tariffs on China would be a good thing if it was being done for the right reasons

that benefited the country as a whole instead of trump doing it for personal gain.
