THIS is the best Democrats have???
i cant wait for the election! the people on stage are a bunch of panderers preaching to each other's choir. There is no difference between them whatsoever, and Republicans are afraid of none of them. Good luck Democrats, you will need it!!!
You didn't see any differences between the candidates?
That's interesting in a clinical sort of way.
Which candidate supported free trade and overhauling the tax code?
none, hopefully. That is a radical far right idea. We are talking Democrats, not Libertarians!!
riiiiight.
Heaven forbid that the liberal Democratics should EVER embrace free trade or even so much as contemplate a repair to our defective tax "system."
Democrats have a strong protectionist streak. That kills the free trade argument
Every tax reform mentioned includes doing away with the progressive tax system. Most democrats prefer the progressive tax. So tax reform is half dead.
By the way, many conservatives have a strong protectionist streak as well. I find it a bit suicidal to sell free trade to most Americans, especially now when most Americans claim foreigners are stealing their jobs.
In order to win, You have to deal with present day political realities, not theoretical ideals that may take years to bloom.
