Dems Take Victory Lap over USMC Trade Deal

The USMC is the United States - Mexico - Canada trade deal that Trump put together to replace NAFTA over a year ago. I do not believe that the Dems would have passed the legislation, but they were under much pressure facing an unpopular impeachment process in key battleground states. Of course, the Dems do not want to give the president any kind of a win so they spun the USMC deal as one they put together because the plan they got from the White House was unacceptable and infinitely inferior to their plan. That said, I have no doubt that the Dems made a few important improvements to the White House proposal, but to downplay it into a partisan effort truly shows their intentions. I mean, isn't that the job of Congress - to write bills and make them better. It is unbecoming of anyone to brag about doing their job. Even if the Dems completely rewrote the entire USMC and did not take anything the White House proposed, then the White House still deserves the most credit. Let me explain.

The Dems claim that the USMC is much better than NAFTA. If that is true, and they knew the American public was not getting the best deal in NAFTA, then why did they wait until the President made a new deal for them to get on board? Where the Dems getting a quid pro quo from the other governments to stay in the bad deal that hurt some American citizens? What reason do the Dems have to keep a trade plan that violates the rights of American citizens (violating their right to work a lawful job) when they knew it was a bad plan? If it were not for the White House, it would be business as usual.

Dems can spin it all they want, if it were not for the White House proposing a better deal than NAFTA, NAFTA would still exist. I do not understand why both sides cannot agree it was bipartisan and move on. Nancy Pelosi was offended when asked if she hated Trump. Well, this is more evidence that Nancy and Dems hate Trump and will do anything to impeach him.
