Vance, speaking at a political event in Maine, claimed talks were still ongoing despite Prime Minister Mark Carney pulling Canada out of the negotiations late last week.

Let there be no doubt, Trump is the symptom, not the problem. Vance is the President in Waiting (I predict he will be POTUS after the November elections), and he will be far worse then Trump ever could be. Trump is knee-jerk, Vance is cold and calculating.

But the good news is, based on the mud-slinging the Republican party is doing, they are really. really afraid they will lose the Senate AND the House in November, and they are trying to shore up support in America for their failed policies. They really, really need this trade deal, and Carney knows it. Unless they get a trade deal before November, the American political scene will look very, very different.

    You still do not get it - getting elected has nothing to do with it. Vance automatically becomes POTUS as soon as Trump is deposed, no election needed. Not only is Vance’s name all over it, he also defended it. Make no mistake, it is his handiwork and he intends to see it through.
