Senator from prairie state backed Trump, and tariffs, 100%. Challenger, a Democtat, has less thatn 10% chance of winning. It will take another 6 years to get even a Republican in that would fix a farm state issue and NOT go along with any President or Trump running things.
The state has not sent a Democrat to DC since 9-11 happened

It's absolutely hilarious to see Democrats against tariffs.
"We are against tariffs. We have always been against tariffs."

It's hilarious how you keep pulling shit out of your arse. Do quote what Democrats said in support of tariffs in the past 40 years.

the US has levied a 25% negotiating tactic on steel imported from country X.

Nothing sure in this world except revenue enhancement and negative patient care outcome.

[Tero]

You are generalizing and manipulating.

But Trump isolationist policy will fail. Possibly Congress will interfere in January. Presidential national security has been stretched too far.

My views on trade are Obama's.

You liked his high tariffs on tires, but you oppose tariffs on aluminum. Got it.

President Barack Obama on Friday slapped punitive tariffs on all car and light truck tires entering the United States from China in a decision that could anger the strategically important Asian powerhouse but placate union supporters important to his health care push at home.

Obama had until Sept. 17 — next week — to accept, reject or modify a U.S. International Trade Commission ruling that a rising tide of Chinese tires into the U.S. hurts American producers. A powerful union, United Steelworkers, blames the increase for the loss of thousands of American jobs.

That tariff was, of course, well-thought-out, and carefully implement, so as not to hurt Americans, like Trump's tariffs do.

Orange man bad. The dozens of anti-dumpting measures and tariffs imposed by brown man, good.

Again, not worth my time. But we make tires. Every type of tire. We do not make all grades of steel. Almost nothing to do with China.

Dude, the entire purpose of the tariffs on tires was to combat Chinese unfair trade practices and dumping....

Trump. Derangement. Syndrome.

No you misread. The steel problem has nothing to do with China. We make the same cheap steel as China does. The better grades of steel are made in Europe and elsewhere. The tariff is on all steel. A local company that makes subway cars has paid 5 million extra for European steel since Trump tariffs started.

Tax or don’t tax the tires, it’s a consumer product. I buy American, you can buys Chinese at Walmart.

The steel messes up US industry.

Our steel foundries are not being affected by tariffs. As you say Tero the Americans have no choice to buy it. Its idiots like the Orange Man that dont understand that steel in not always the same steel.

[Svartalf]

Our most modern steel plant is near to closing down because it's main stockholder (who was also its main customer) wants to change providers because they say they pay French made steel 30% more than other steel.

I don't watch TV or listen to commercial radio, so I don't see many political ads. This one came to my attention.



I checked out the district and it's a GOP "safe seat," so I don't expect this woman will win, but I liked the ad and thought I'd share.

[pErvinalia]

That was good. Very creative.

I was just looking at Round Rock recently. If I had to stay in Texas I could do Austin again. But man, I think I'd really just like to get the hell out of here.

[Tero]

We don't give a fuck about reality! Just follow Trump, he has the ear of all our supporters and we really don't give a fuck about Democrat voters. We can keep the Senate!

However the Midterms Go, the Republican Party Is Going to Get More Extreme

” Ten months ago, when the Senate voted to pass a huge tax cut, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared, “If we can’t sell this to the American people, we ought to go into another line of work.”

They couldn’t. They tried convincing the public their tax cuts for the rich will mostly go to the middle class, but the middle class doesn’t believe them. “I would have bet you a lot of money going into this year that if you cut people’s taxes by thousands of dollars per year, that would be politically popular,” Republican consultant Ryan Ellis told Politico. “But it has not worked out that way.” As private Republican polling has confirmed, the party “lost the messaging battle” on taxes.
“We’re doing other things, which I don’t have to explain now, but it will be pretty much a net neutral,” he told reporters. No such tax proposal exists, and nobody actually believes anything like it will ever materialize. Yet Republican leaders are pretending to take Trump’s instructions seriously. “We will continue to work with the White House and Treasury over the coming weeks to develop an additional 10 percent tax cut focused specifically on middle-class families and workers,” promised House Committee on Ways and Means chairman Kevin Brady.
Trump himself has advanced this lie to its Orwellian conclusion. Not only does he promise to defend the regulations he is actively seeking to eliminate, he has accused Democrats of trying to destroy them: “Republicans will totally protect people with Pre-Existing Conditions, Democrats will not! Vote Republican.”
(Moderate Republicans will be replaced by either Democrats of Trumpists, depending on state)
The surviving core, from the reddest districts, will be the most Trumpian. They will be much less likely to abandon their president in the face of incriminating evidence than were Richard Nixon’s Republicans in 1974, and much more likely to escalate his attacks on the rule of law into a full-scale culture war.
What would stop them from launching the full-scale assault on the welfare state that Newt Gingrich and Paul Ryan never mustered the courage to fully enact? Why wouldn’t they go through with abolishing Obamacare and slashing funding to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid?

[laklak]

Well, to be fair most democrats don't give a fuck about republicans either. I take it a step further and don't give a fuck about anybody. All y'all be crazy motherfuckers.

[Forty Two]

Moderate Democrats

[laklak]

Yabbut not good Democrites, like Strom Thurmond or George Wallace or David Duke (OK Duke only part-time, he was a racist Republican also).

Pro-lifer = literally conservative = literally a Nazi = literally punchable = literally roundhouse kickable.

Literally.
