That's a gimme: No, Donald. They think you're a dumb SOB.
They're the last 1.3 billion catching up with what the rest of us already knew..
And, uh, one small thing: that outsourcing is profitable as all hell, otherwise nobody would be dong it. Nobody, not even "the United States" which isn't involved in the transaction, loses on the deal. For the nation as a whole, outsourcing frees up "human resourcs," that's people, who could do necessary -- and long overdue -- maintenance and infrastructure construction work.
Duh, Donnie. Duh.
Pity Daddy bought you that million-dollar degree at Penn, Donnie. The other kids did their homework and learned about trade, business, and economics.

Biden isn't trying to beat "angry Bernie fans." Most Bernie fans are liberals or Social Democrats, which means they are pretty close to Biden and will support him.
There are a few hundred thousand Red Diaper babies out there, children of Communists. Some of these people, perhaps ten or twenty thousand in the entire country are not particularly "political" in any civic or contributory sense. They are emotional outsiders, often rightwing extremists.
Of the political ones, and now we're down to probably one-digit thousands, many believe in the olde tyme Leninist doctrine of "le pire le mieux," the worse is better -- making things bad will bring their revolution faster.
These are your Trump-before-Biden Bernie Bros. They are loud but they are few.
You have to keep your eye on the facts. Fact One is that Hillary beat Trump by three million votes. Trump is a glitch in the Constitution, a side-effect of the nasty compromises of 1785~87 when the current Constitution was being written after the failure of the 1776 Articles.
Trump is tall, energetic, televisual, confident, and assertive. He's attractive and convincing if you're not paying attention. A lot of people have been sucked in by him, and importantly a lot of special interests, greedheads, reactionaries and the few fascists out there have found him useful.
On the other hand he is ignorant, of mediocre intelligence and essentially negative learning, and harmful -- harmful essentially to the interests of the barstool philosopher class who have followed him.
If people pay attention and act with good sense, 2020 will be a wipeout of Goldwater-scale proportions. The GOP could be wrecked for a generation, leaving only pieces to be reconstructed in some different way.
America no doubt has a place for principled conservatives, an edge party of the Never Trumpers.
The Democratic Party of President Obama and the Cllintons stands for capitalism armed to the teeth. There is no viable administrative position to the right of that. that is the centre right, not the center left.
America needs a center-left, Social Democratic Party.
A reconstruction of the parties has to occupy most of the next few years -- up through the two elections after the 2030 census and redistricting.
For the moment the only challenge is getting a return to reasonably normal politics. That is what Biden represents, and the majority of Americans know it.

Run when chaste? Rather redundundant, doncha think, Chris? Obviously those who don't run don't stay chaste very long.
Priests should also be allowed to wear black suits -- and should be encouraged not to take them off at the wrong times.
But Young Socialist "Alliance," Roger? There's no such group, though at the time I used to think that the Young People's Socialist League (which later changed its name to Students for a Democratic Society, and later still The Weathermen) chose that name because YPSL was from Ypsilanti. (Honest. It largely was!) But no, Roger Stone, young socialists don't do "alliance." Their specialty rather tends to be fractionation, division, and infighting -- when they can't achieve total chaos, that is.

What these dummies are missing is that sure, SALT hits the blue states -- but it hits a particular kind of family in the blue states: the very well-off but not hyper-wealthy.
Super-millionaires all have their pass-through gimmicks, so they're home free and laughing. Working and middle-class people in the blue states get their pittance in the first year or so, but they're also smart enough to figure out that a.) the increase in non-Obamacare insurance will eat those tiny gains away, and b.) they're getting phased out after the 2018 elections, which they're supposed to be stupid enough to vote Republican in.
Who's left? Who is famously getting blue-state-screwed? The country club Republican class, that's who.
These smart-asses haven't hit the Democrats. They've nailed not the red-hat-yahoos but the genuine Republican base, doctors, lawyers, small millionaire business owners.
Trump's destruction of the GOP marches on, hand in hand with his war on America.
