Which is what drove the offshoring from the start. Once one company did it and was not punished by consumers - all were forced to follow. Trump is finally turning this back by removing the ability of companies to offshore to China or their sales literally go to zero. As I said from the start - the Chinese tariffs are not about raising tariff revenue - it is about stopping Chinese exports to the US.

It is 100% true. Democrats gained the neocons and GOP gained unions and working people over the last 10 years. Trump and Musk are also great examples - and even increasing Zuckerberg. Most of the GOP prior to MAGA consisted of GOP voters supporting the lesser party of 2 evils as the GOP was controlled by the corporates and religious nutjob types. MAGA defined a set of policies and united them behind that vision because that is what they previously wanted but the corporate GOP refused to provide. It took a former conservative Democrat in the form of Trump to unite the sane-Democrats with the sane-GOP to create MAGA.

"Conservative Democrats are what formed MAGA.
Conservative Democrats are who voted for the Clintons, Obama, Biden and Harris."

You are correct if you stopped at Clinton (singular - as in Bill).

"The GOP doesn't exist anymore, they were kicked to the curb by Trumping MAGAts."

That is correct - and given you accept it - why do you constantly try to hang retarded GOP policies of the pre-2000's on MAGA now? We reject those policies. We actively voted against them when we voted for Clinton or Perot.

"Bush family = RINOs. Romney = RINO, Cheneys = RINOs, McCain = RINO ..."

I already stated that - they are now part of the Democrat 'ring of honor'...the fact you cheered Liz Cheney should make you feel embarrassed.

Trump and a band of morons are now in control.

"Yep. As soon as Trump dies, so does the party.
#21 | Posted by ClownShack"

As I already posted - it will fracture the GOP with the corporate GOP uniting with the Dems. MAGA will continue to strip away the few remaining non-insane Democrats as the Democrats become increasingly anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-heterosexual, communists.

Also, MAGA is doing great with the youth - and with the Democcrats losing their control over the youth through college indoctrination and money drives up through USAID cuts, and drug ads being restricted - this trend will accelerate. Gen Z will be the most MAGA of any generation - even passing Gen X. I also assume once the Millennials start inheriting money from Boomer parents and grandparents and scrape together some savings, they will start to swing hard away from the Dems as well. Once people have some actual life experience, the Democrat narrative cannot survive.

Please Canadian posters - provide your valuable economic insights on the US while your home country spirals into failure. It reminds me of grad school - nearly 100% of the economics professors were from 3rd world -------- countries and had never worked outside of academia. These were the -------- guiding US economic policies.

RCP average. You can read them in your windowless van with 'free candy' painted in the side.

"The bankruptcy-prone orange pedo's 36% approval rating on the economy will crush the repugs at midterms.
#2 | Posted by reinheitsgebot"

The LOWEST poll in RCP that released the cross tabs has Trump at 44% approve, 52% disapprove - but massive oversampled Dems as you are see in their crosstabs. Why would Harris voters make up over 50% of the poll's sample when she got less than 50% of the 2024 popular vote unless the intent is to skew the results. Harris got 48% of the popular vote but almost 53% of this sample - from those that disclosed. That is a +5% overweight. Adjusting the numbers to reflect reality and Trump is basically 50% support - inline with Rasmussen.

Meanwhile...the Democrat party support is in the 20's and tanking because they have members like yourself and NO ONE (outside of your ------ buddies) wants to be associated with you.

"#19 | Posted by TFDNihilist"

If liberals lose their victim mentality by admitting the US is a great country - what will their new identity become?

As for you, you don't understand the MAGA message. America is still the best country in the world - but the gap has now narrowed. It was even better prior to the Democrats, Neocons, and Corporate GOP trying to destroy it. We want to bring back the times of prior greatness.

Literally, what policies are the libs going to run on in the midterms? Raising drug prices? Bringing back criminal, wife beating illegal alien gang members? Keeping taxes on tips and over time? Not raising the top marginal tax rate?

#13 | Posted by boaz"

Conservative Democrats are what formed MAGA. Why would they ever come back to the Democrat party? The more likely outcome is that MAGA spins out from the GOP post-Trump and then what is left of the GOP form the uni-party with the Democrats. GOP mistakenly think voters support the GOP - they don't, they support Trump and MAGA.

A total reset in that the days when the US would not tariff Chinese goods but US goods were tariffed or denied access in the Chinese markets are over.

China has been utterly devastated in the last 30 days and Xi is fearing the collapse of the CCP. For the first time, massive protests are happening in China - previous protests were in Hong Kong only, never tolerated in the mainland.

Yes - Trump supports a ceasefire. Of course, Europe wants US troops and money to actually enforce it. About time Europe came around on this point. That said, it is not in Putin's interest to agree to it unless he believes Europe will also force Ukraine to accept his key demands on ending the war. If he doesn't think so, it just gives Ukraine more time to rearm from Europe and dig new defensive lines as the current ones have collapsed.

"#40 | Posted by OCUser"

This is a good thing - trucks filled with cheap Chinese crap that is not actually needed. Port workers in LA and Seattle will be hurt a lot by this - Americans will benefit.

But again, I ask the question:

"Was off-shoring US manufacturing to China a good idea?"

A simple Yes/No answer will suffice.

"#20 | Posted by REDIAL"

Yep - and Canada was the same with the exception that Canada is even in a worse position as you have killed off your tech industry over the last 20 years - which is why Canada's GDP has never really grown in the last 15 years. Mexico North benefited from US offshoring to the cheaper Canadian labor market - 20% of Canadian GDP is trade with the USA. Canada will not truly feel the impacts of its any anti-innovation policies paired with the massive importation of Indian and Chinese workers.

"Empty shelves, sky high prices, etc etc.
#18 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY"

More Democrat fearmongering that will not actually happen. All this shows is how utterly reliant the US has become on importing cheap Chinese crap - the good news is that none of that cheap Chinese crap is actually needed here. We just have to train liberals out of their self-sabotaging ways of buying Chinese and then complaining that there no good jobs here.

"Why was the post WWII era so great? Mostly free trade openened up markets so even poor countries could prosper.
#14 | Posted by danni"

Democrats need to open up a history book. Post-WW2 prospered because the industrial base of Europe was destroyed along with the damage Japan did in Asia. As a result, the only country producing manufactured good was the US. Asia solely produced commodities like food, rubber, and oil. We are not in that world anymore. Now, the US produces commodities and FIRE is the biggest sector of our economy.

"But they are telling you at the ballot box.
#8 | Posted by boaz"

As I posted above, I don't think it is a 'lying' issues - at least not on the part of Trump supporters. It is that they are undercounted in surveys due to massive influx of 'independents' that are really just Democrats embarrassed to say they are Democrats. For any survey that does not release how the sample voted in 2024, it is simply lying. They are not meant to report public opinion - they are meant to form it.

"Both Presidential candidates in 1996 were on record supporting NAFTA, GATT, and WIPO.

There were 3 presidential candidates in 1996 and 1 surely did not sign up for any of those. The GOP supporting NAFTA is why all them have been stripped of power in the party and MAGA has taken over. The GOP was an evil party when promoting McCain and Romney and W Bush - all of whom are now seen as heroes of the Democrats.
