>> Stupidity, first Republicans abandon fiscal responsibility and now they abandon free trade. <<

i'm sorry, but you have it backwards. every republican president since our first--lincoln, up until eisenhower after world war two has advocated a policy of protective tariffs. it was a mainstay in the republican platform. it's protective tariffs which republicans have abandoned in recent decades, not free trade. if you want to argue that free trade is preferred to protective tariffs so be it, but you cannot revise history. the republican party has traditionally been in favor of protective tariffs.

>> They are selling out to private interests <<

the republicans with their dogmatic advocacy of free trade uber alles are selling out american workers to large multinational corporations which line their pockets with campaign contributions. to try to suggesting anything different is disingenuous.
