That includes “gigantic tax cuts” for workers and tariffs of more than 60% on goods imported from China and elsewhere.

Who ever the lady (Vivian) is reporting about the campaigning she is obviously very bias. She says the rhetoric on the right is so much more vicious than the left and of we are all honest the left is just as vicious. She wording is so much softer/positive for the left as opposed to what she says about the left. it's sad when your editor just said in Sunday's interview that WSJ is truly unbiased.
Rip.
you don't need to add "reported".. enough with the passive voice. Israelis are doing atrocities. calling them out is not antisemitic... you can be cool with Jews but hate zio criminals
All the news put out of America goes to show how stupid so many of them are, and how dangerous it can be to let brainwashed.

Rahm Emanuel sounds like a self serving politician in the worse sense. On the same day as the US Commerce Secretary is trying to improve relations with the US' largest trading partner. He as patronage appointed ambassador to Japan tries his best to start a trade war with China. What an idiot!
