You've got to be joking. The Rs have completely abandoned free trade. One of my trumpster relatives at the beach (and, by the way, I hid out at work some of the week to avoid dealing with them - had lunch in town most days with sane people...) last week was going on and on about how exciting it was that we can win a trade war, how our big trade deficit with China gives us lots of leverage, it may hurt a few people but would benefit everyone overall....
The Republicans aren't coming back to free trade. That ship has sailed (after paying tariffs, of course).
