    Jobs going to other countries started with a trade deal the Clinton administration negotiated and signed.

    Wrong again!

    That was a REPUBLICAN initiative and so was their entire BOONDOGGLE "free trade" agenda that DEPRIVED hardworking Americans of their decent jobs with benefits.

    It all BEGAN with Newt Gingrich's Contract ON America and went DOWNHILL from there.

    the left wants a government that help the people when wanted, the right wants a government that control the people and chooses for them

    I'm gen x and everybody i know that isn't a loser is conservative or independent.

    We hear over and over that the conservatives are dying out. Nonsense. As people spend their lives earning wealth, they tend to transition to more conversative.

    Most young people are idealistic and can solve the world's problems just by using other peoples money. This is typically liberals. Then, many of them grow up.

    That was the MYTH that has been DESTROYED by the greed obsessed Wass Street Casino Banksters who OWN the GOP that is doing their nefarious fiscal malfeasance dirty deeds.

    Millennials and Gen Z are BURDENED with DEBT both from OVERPRICED college educations AND the National Debt that the GOP has DUMPED on them.

    They CANNOT AFFORD to "earn wealth" when they do NOT have decent jobs and have to give whatever PITTANCE they do earn to the Banksters instead.

    More and more Gen X'ers and Boomers have found themselves WITHOUT the decent jobs with benefits that the relied upon to obtain wealth and INSTEAD they are DRAINING what little they have just to SURVIVE the FAILED policies of your INCOMPETENT wannabe Fascist-in-Chief.

    Anyone who is on the WRONG side of the GOP's fiscal malfeasance, which is at least 66% of all hardworking Americans, are REJECTING the GOP in favor of the Dems who are working to REGAIN the political power necessary to END the current FAILED conservative fiscal policies.

    Trump voters are smart enough to see globalism for what it is. Trump voters didn't have their brains washed by the Marxist professors in America's Liberal Arts schools. Incrementally and over time the quality of education has eroded in America. Neutral, useful education has been replaced with socialist/communist pablum. The proof is the ease with which liberals deride America, it is not normal to hate one's country or to be offended by the American flag. That is a product of indoctrination and socialism is the tool the globalists have used to soften brains enough to sell their agenda. America is far from perfect but is the last bastion against the evil that is globalism. Liberals complain about America's one percent yet the quality of life here is still the best in the world. Our belief in freedom and self determination is uniquely American and the absolute freedom guaranteed by the Constitution does not exist anywhere else on the planet. All of that would be prohibited by globalist governance, even the one percent would disappear and be replaced by an iron fisted oligarchy a very real one percent. Trumpists refuse to be useful idiots, we will never be fooled by the merchants of globalism, we will never allow any other form of governance other than that, that is described and assured by the Constitution. Everything liberals believe is the bullets they use to voluntarily shoot themselves in the foot.

    Prove it's bogus, find another western nation with the same assurances of our constitution. There is freedom and then there is American freedom, you should know the difference before you pick a fight.

    Are you DENYING that there are other nations that have Constitutions that are similar to what we have?

    Because that is YOUR bogus allegation so the ONUS is entirely on YOU to PROVE that there are ZERO other nations out there.

    YOU made that ridiculous allegation so NOW you have to PROVE it.

    We both already KNOW that you can't!

    Trump supporters support Trump, republicans support greedy corporations - greedy corporations are destroying capitalism

    the right is against any kind of regulations to protect the American workers and even the playing field

    time to bring those jobs home

    raise taxes on corps by 15% and offer a 15% tax cut to any corp that doesn't outsource our jobs

    They are NOT "our" jobs. They belong to the corporation. Problem with the Left is they want everyone to be exactly identical in every way.

    American professionals and tradesmen wages are where they should be. That leaves the lowly worker who has made bad life choices, was shortchanged by public education, in many cases illiterate, in competition with illegals or their jobs were off shored or automated. This is a very large pool and unfortunately survival depends on making one's self more valuable not on the generosity of businesses. What you call greed is simply the way capitalism works, to create assets and have the least liabilities. It works that way for all but it depends on the individual's initiative and industry.

    the min wage has not kept up with inflation, and manufacturing, customer service and IT type jobs are going overseas to places like India

    Sad that you actually believe that extremist rightwing DISINFORMATION that no other nations have the EQUIVALENT, or better, than our BoR!

    http://www.gtcentre.unsw.edu.au/node/147

    Furthermore your BOGUS allegation about "belief in freedom" does NOT withstand Critical Scrutiny either.

    https://www.cato.org/blog/new-human-freedom-index-us-15-new-zealand-switzerland-freest

    Note that the Cato Institute is a RIGHTWING organization.

    So the FACTS establish that your allegations are indeed utterly BOGUS.

    Sad!

    NAFTA?

    That was written and sponsored by Republicans.

    That sure isn't a good talking point for you

    Truth? There is probably nothing that will attract Millennials, Gen Z'er's, et al, away from more and more socialism in every facet of our lives in the United States. I'll be you didn't expect to hear that from a senior-citizen Conservative! You're winning, Te, and I hope you like your winnings, and the 'free stuff' pot-of-gold that socialists are sure lies at the end of their 'rainbow'.

    Instead of bitching about 'Socialism', per se, I'll suggest that you 'young people' consider modeling your new-and-improved-Utopia after the one (ONE) country in the world I know of where neo-Socialism actually works fairly well today -- GERMANY. Other socialist countries today are tottering wrecks, wholly dependent on an internationalist klatsch of central banks to keep them complete collapse.

    But beware -- while you're making up your minds about which 'flavor' of Socialism you prefer, two countries that were steeped in extreme 'orthodox'-Socialism (Communism) gave up on it, and now are poised to take over the entire Eastern Hemisphere, and later, the rest of the world! Russia and China!

    When Russia and China fully join forces with the EU (led, of course, by Germany), the 'pressure' will weigh on your idyllic 'Utopia'.

    Hint: German is easier to learn from scratch than Russian or Mandarin....

    Businesses exist for one reason only. PROFIT! Nothing nor nothing less. Why should I for example, want to take enormous risks to start a business if I don't have the ability to make money hand over fist?

    Of course, votes are private, not readily documentable other than in generalities. However- you may have noticed the liberals complain about the old folks, not the young. WHY? Because the old folks matured and became less liberal, more conservative over time. The old folks complain about the younger ones for the same reason- lack of experience and maturity has them chasing ideology without realizing the longer term problems that make it foolish. Just the quantity of people of each kind in age groups proves the concept.
