As Middle America rises in rage against “fast track” and the mammoth Obamatrade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, The Wall Street Journal has located the source of the malady. Last Monday's lead editorial began: “Here we go again. In the 1990s Pat Buchanan launched a civil war within the Republican Party on a platform targeting immigration and trade. Some claimed Pitchfork Pat was the future of the GOP, though in the end he mainly contributed to its presidential defeats.” But, woe is us, “the GOP's Buchanan wing is making a comeback.” Now it is true that, while Nixon and Reagan won 49-state landslides and gave the GOP five victories in six presidential contests, the party has fallen upon hard times. Only once since 1988 has a Republican presidential nominee won the popular vote. But was this caused by following this writer's counsel? Or by the GOP listening to the deceptions of its Davos-Doha-Journal wing? In the 1990s, this writer and allies in both parties fought NAFTA, GATT and MFN for China. The Journal and GOP establishment ran with Bill and Hillary and globalization. And the fruits of their victory? Between 2000 and 2010, 55,000 U.S. factories closed and 5 million to 6 million manufacturing jobs disappeared.

Not hardly...
Called me Mr. poopman, accused me of being a GOP lackey, which is beyond funny
You are actually asking me to defend the GOP? LOL...
Why would I do that...90 % of them are a bunch of spineless, craven, gutless, worms...
It seems you want to get into a pissing contest...
Take a chill pill...
You’re a fraud.
Yes, massive election wins in congress last two cycles, took the senate in 2014, own a large majority of the Governorships, large majority of State houses are GOP controlled...
What have they accomplished mr pop?
Lets here it Mr. GOP.
LOL...
Oh' now you did it..you hurt my poor little feelings.../ S
Since you know absolutely nothing about me, my background, my political positions, I don't need to justify myself to you...
Have a nice day...
I suggest you put down whatever bottle you are drinking from...
Buchanan sure has a weird definition of "hard times"
When are you going to tell all about the GOP "good times" after their big wins?
Why are you evading all the questions Mr. popman?
You make these comments with zip to back it up..
Typical GOP fraud.
What about those GOP wins? What did they accomplish Mr. popman?
You made the GOP comments now back it up popman.
You’re a typical GOP hack.
If that is not sufficient for you...
I suggest you take a remedial reading comprehension course...
I have really got a belly full of people like you.
Since you don't know me, I will assume you are drunk...
You’re a fraud and liar.
Why not get the AM to ban me?
I’m telling you flat out, you’re a liar and fraud.
Two reasons
1. I'm not intimidated by anybody
2. I'm not an asshat like you..
Yes, massive election wins in congress last two cycles, took the senate in 2014, own a large majority of the Governorships, large majority of State houses are GOP controlled...

You've been asked a dozens times what your GOP has done since their big wins popman.
Ya won't answer because you're a deceptive, evasive fraud.
Highly debatable. Polls afterward showed the Perot voters would have gone one third to Clinton, one third to Bush, and one third would have stayed home.
Damn, talking to you is like talking to a two year old...
You've been asked a dozens times what your GOP has done since their big wins popman.
I answered your question...
"Not much, because they are spineless, gutless, craven worms"...
If you go back upthread you will see my answers...
But I guess you are too busy being a jerk to read them...
#27: Yes, massive election wins in congress last two cycles, took the senate in 2014, own a large majority of the Governorships, large majority of State houses are GOP controlled...
#27; Buchanan sure has a weird definition of "hard times"
You've been asked a dozens times what your GOP has done since their big wins popman.
Ya won't answer because you're a deceptive, evasive fraud.
Go pester someone else who cares...
Tell me about the GOP good times Mr. Popman?
What did they accomplish since their historic wins and endless celebrations?
You have no choice but to run for the tall grass.
It's like watching the fraud run across a parking lot away from hard questions. They make comments like you did in #27 and then just run their ass off.
