I just think this is a far more convincing, sacrificial and ennobling way to convey to the American people you have real conviction and this is more than "politics" to you than dropping some f-bombs. https://t.co/e60Pb141Zp

People want to know that Democrats really, really believe things, and are willing to articulate what they believe. That is one reason that what @CoryBooker is doing right now is worthwhile.

On Trump’s tariffs:
What is wrong w/Mike Pence? FREE TRADE has limits. If China is using slave labor, shall we trade with them? When we open our markets to other nations we are MORALLY obligated to expect them to behave MORALLY for the privilege of trading with us. https://t.co/CTzeoI1WqT
