Beto has had some good moments. His passion he spoke with about the football players kneeling was also heartfelt. I'm frankly glad is got angry at the press and used that language. it's deserved. And they come after him right after he participated in that vigil in El Paso. They have been enablers and moronic.

We were playing a losing game with China anyway, as they were never going to want to really deal with us and spent most of Obama's last years in office undercutting or trying to degrade him. Taking some kind of action wasn't a bad idea. Unfortunately Trump has handled it terribly, as always.

Obama tried to deal with China with the TPP.  Our farmers would've been able to sell to Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. But now we're on our own and China is slowly cutting us out of those markets.
