There are policies I favor no matter who enacts them so if Trump were to increase tariffs by about 45% which I think one was one of the few policies Sanders signaled that he would assist on which Sanders opposed NAFTA, CAFTA, PNTR with China as well as TPP.
Not that I buy it coming from Trump who imports Chinese steel as well as other things which his excuse was that is the law is written which he took advantage of and says so himself.
When Sanders made his statement post election he also signaled he would oppose his racist policies.
serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him, Sanders said.
To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him, he added.
