Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon, a founding member and past chairman of the House Progressive Caucus, said this on Carl in the Morning this week about Donald Trump's positions on trade, taxes, and investing in our infrastructure:
"Yeah, I mean racism and sexism aside, those things you mentioned are certainly rational observations about our crumbling infrastructure and the need to invest, our failed trade policy. You know, yeah he happens to be in the right place on those things and I wish the other Republicans who are running to match his racism and sexism would run to match his position on taxing hedge fund managers, changing our trade policy and investing in infrastructure, but unfortunately they just seem to be taking the bait of his racist-sexist stuff and leaving on the table the good stuff, like taxing hedge fund managers."
Despite current and past liberal positions, Trump garners the most support among self-described Tea Party voters in the latest CNN national poll.
