Democrats abandoned it on the floor. the president came to congress into their conference that day and they walked out and their own leader voted against them. thats unheard of. so, yes, it even makes it more difficult. but, yes, its hard on our side as well. >> i think of bakersfield, a place thats benefitted from a lot of trade. >> it has. >> and watching some of this anti-trade talk, what do you make of it as a californian? does it have you nervous about the direction of your party that you s...
