Why won't Dems join China resistance?

Posted September 28, 2019 1:00 am

I have called Rep. Sean Casten, the offices of Sen. Duckworth and Sen. Durbin several times and asked a simple question and have yet to get an answer from any of them, so I am going to ask the people. NAFTA was not a good agreement for the U.S. A new trade agreement more beneficial to the U.S. named the USMCA has been reached. Why won't Congress even take it up for discussion and ratification?

China - they are the world's most unethical trade partner across the board. Every country in the G-7 agrees China is the largest economic and military threat. So that being said, why aren't the Democrats backing America and joining President Donald Trump in trying to get the China trade problems corrected? Is it because their hatred for the president is so bad they want the country to suffer and fail rather than support him? What ever happened to their "Love Trump's Hate" slogan?

The Democrats need to stop playing political games with the lives of the citizens and get to work representing the American citizens not foreign interests.
