Tectonic rumblings on Morning Joe today. HE ACTUALLY WENT THERE.
He attacked the very tenants of Reaganism and trickle-down economics.
These are amazing times!

Bernie is no threat in that regard, and wouldn't have elicited this heretical rant on his own.

(942 posts)Sanders said: "It proves I was right about NAFTA"
Trump said: "I will put a 45% tariff on Carrier and force them to move that plant back."
Clinton has said nothing about this.
Democrats better get their act together, or they are going to get beat by a billionaire using populist economics as a wedge issue !

(2,062 posts)Of course Trump will be joining you ... MSNBC and NBC, actually all the media are so far up Trumps ass, they want him to win.... and my theory is this.... they know if he is president, our country will be in wars, tax hell, jobs will float away worse, mega rich will get richer, all because the media needs something to report. They hate Obama presidency because he is getting things done.. Unemployment at an all time low, 40 months of positive job growth, legal gay marriage, etc, etc.... so the media needs Trump to screw things up.
