Is Toomey really the best that Pennsylvania can do?

Toomey was the sole Republican to vote against the USMCA despite its importance to the president’s agenda and Trump’s reliance on Pennsylvania in the upcoming November election.

A staunch conservative and opponent of Trump’s trade agenda, Toomey argued that provisions meant to boost wages in Mexico and raise the tariff-free threshold for autos would spike prices for American consumers.

“Outside of a few necessary modernizations and modest market access improvements for Pennsylvania's dairy farmers, USMCA is a step backwards and I could not support its passage,” Toomey said in a Thursday statement.

Is this true? If so would it be a concession we gave to get the overall deal done?

SADLY, he may be as good a R as Pennylvania can give.
With Philadelphia as such a juggernaut demorat vote machine, sadly PA is always gonna be stuck with liberal republiturds.
Toomey appeared a good, mostly solid R, sadly he let’s conservatives down many times!

PA is another state with two large cities..filth-a-delphia being one of them.
Towns like Williamsport were citified when they brought in a influx of drug addicts who really didn’t come to be rehabilitated but to sell drugs, steal and kill people.

Toomey is a tool of the Business Roundtable and the Chamber of Commerce getting over $400K in campaign contributions. Those organizations were against USMCA and Trump’s immigration policies. Toomey put his interest in keeping his Senatorship ahead of the American people. Another pathetic Repub senator.

Yes. You do no the other senator is a democrat. Don’t worry you are in good company as liberals ask the same thing of senator Manchin of West Virginia.
