Instead of pardoning turkeys, President Obama should be fighting for the workers at the Carrier plant in Indianapolis this week.
But don’t expect him to battle for the little guy any longer. The Democratic party he leads has lost its way.
The party cares more about transgender bathrooms and the notion of Islamophobia than jobs. And that lack of focus cost them the White House and control of Congress this election cycle.
Democrats claim to be the party looking out for the working class and middle class yet its failed policies forced on the nation — namely Obamacare — hammered the very constituents they claim to protect. The proposed Cadillac tax under Obamacare will crush blue-collar union workers with enormous health care costs, while many are already feeling the pain with exploding premiums and deductibles.
Same with trade and immigration. Democrats’ failed trade policies, namely NAFTA, have hurt the American worker as does a broken immigration system causing Americans to lose decent jobs to cheap labor.
But instead of putting Americans first, dare we say “nationalism,” progressives prefer to obsess over “safe spaces” on campus and social issues instead of protecting working families wallets.
A gift to the GOP who gets that pocket book issues decide elections.
Republicans are pragmatists who understand that political correctness and the notion of globalism doesn’t protect you when the bills are due.
