I agree with everything he said but this...
"In stopping or reneging on free trade agreements with other countries, and making the word of the United States less reliable."
The Dems want these agreements to stay the same because it is hurting our America to have unfair trade agreements. The Republicans can not get in bed with the socialist agenda and leave the bedrock of America behind in the dust without severe consequences. We are an up lifting party, an American Dream party, not a screw you for trying, we have a bunch of new customers party...right?
The text surrounding your quote is ...
The Democratic Party of today would abandon many of these principles and what they would not abandon they would distort. They have their own principles. They believe: In highlighting and dwelling on America’s imperfections. In isolationism. In policies that will give the world the impression that we are weak and divided. In declaring defeat even when we are winning. In stopping or reneging on free trade agreements with other countries, and making the word of the United States less reliable. In turning over the education of our children to the NEA. In continuing to expand our entitlement program spending even as these programs are headed bankruptcy.
