That shows the brilliance of our constitution - assuming congress plays their part unlike the last few years.

Williams’ representative and all other representatives will get to make their case - Trump cannot do this on his own. And Williams can write articles to convince the people to contact their representative.

But a single person like Trump can get in there and change the discussion. Congress and presidents have been going to long with the “free trade” concept and not stepping back and looking at the big picture. Monetary policy, free trade, jobs, exports, imports, taxes, tariffs, etc.

Maybe tariffs are a bad idea. Maybe tax code needs to change. Maybe all sorts of things. Just like with immigration, Trump is getting some discussions going (along with Bernie in this case).

Almost nothing any of the candidates are saying can be done without congress. We’re safe with Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, and even Bernie if congress does their job. (Hillary’s another story). Leadership is what’s going to enable change it it gets congress to talk and work for the people - not ideas.

Well said. What we need is a discussion that is long overdue. We do not have to take what ever is given in these trade agreements without understanding the consequences. Winners and losers? What is the greatest good for the common middle class citizen?
