Republican Senator Pat Toomey of PA stands on principle with vote for Free Trade

From Eric Dondero:

The vote on trade sanctions on China in the Senate was 63 to 35.

The WSJ makes note that one Senator from a traditionally Rust Belt State took a particularly courageous free market stance.

the Senate voted 63-35 on Tuesday to impose tariffs on China for manipulating its currency...

Among Republicans, freshman Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania cast one of the braver nays. The industrial western areas of the Keystone State are suffering, and Democrat Robert Casey voted the labor line.

Of note, 30 Republicans in total voted Pro-Free Trade. They were joined by 4 Democrats from Pacific Coastal States, and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman.

Editor's note - This website was an early and enthusiatic supporter of Pat Toomey for Senate.
