    I saw a study/poll in the last few months talking about one of the bigger differences in Dems and Reps right now is how they feel about China and Russia. Reps tended to think China was the #1 foreign issue and threat, Dems tended to think Russia was. It went down the line of a bunch of different statistics, Reps tend to think Democrats are too easy on China, and have too many ties with China, while dems had the same thoughts with Republicans and russia. It was pretty interesting.

    I think the debates should have a fact checker live after every question with a true or false verification before another question can be asked...visible to the candidates and the public

    this is like chris paul's defensive strategy of fouling on every possession-- refs can't call everything.

    so he lies. lies EVERY DAMN SENTENCE. no fact checker can keep up with him.

    American business interests have been tied to China for many, many decades...we invested in manufacturing there since the age of the computer...and they have a billion consumers...Russia is a different relationship and always has been...these two thing to me are not comparable...the trade war with China is of Trump's doing and it's escalated tensions to the point of a serious cold war...if folks think that's a good thing...they'll tow that line. I don't think it's a good thing

    under Trump you can add Iran and N Korea to the pact....which is why Trump has to go...he's created a super alliance fueled with anti americanisms......all his doing. All fixable with responsible diplomacy and leadership...snap out of it

    Suggest you do the same.

    But but but but AMERICA FIRST!

    yes, first in deaths due to Covid. How many people will get it from this petri dish at the Whitehouse tonight, you think? Not a single mask in sight and people packed like sardines.

    Shouldnt be in bed with China or Russia they are both enemies of the US have never pretended to be anything else. It was wrong for American Businesses to exploit china’s cheap labor and large market, for US companies (and politicians too), to be dependent on China is a bad thing. Its also a bad thing for the US its businesses and its politicians to be in bed with Putin and Russia. Relationships are different sure, but both pose an issue. The study was just simply talking about differences in what how Republicans and Democrats (likely voters) felt about those two countries.

    We are at war. No amount of diplomacy will change that.

    I think healthy diplomatic relationships with the world is a good thing....China never thought of us as the enemy.by nature they know they need our markets....they're not N Korea or Iran that way...we were trade partners...fought in WW2 together....international business has no roots in nationalism or loyalty...those companies have banks all over the world and hold currencies from each place..Trump does...Bank of Cypress..Kaymans.....John Kerry keeps his money offshore in Belgium and the Caymans....this is not new....and has little to do with nationalism and everything to do with international trade..if you believe in economic isolationism it doesn't exist here
