  1. I heard today that China is willing to discuss tariffs. Shouldn’t this “Spotlight Forum” hold off until the administration discusses these tariffs or is this meeting just stirring the political pot?

  2. Are We the People footing the bill for this left wing political convention ? Flip NM Red !!!
