Just an anectdote, Broadway Buick in Newburgh, NY shut down at the time of the GM restructuring. What's significant about this particular closing is that this was the world's oldest Buick dealership in operation. They've been at this same location for almost 100yrs. and the showroom building is eligible for landmark preservation. And considering the state of the economy, and the fact they weren't in the best part of town, they still managed to move a fair amount of Buicks.

I think that scandal is parked for the fall period. There are probably a dozen scandals lined up, and the remaining three years will just be one after another. There’s virtually nothing that the administration can do in stopping them. Avoiding the special prosecutor simply helps make each one more painful.

Also, the general concept of taking down the Republican dealerships...was to have more influence on local and state elections. Well...they couldn’t touch the imports or the Ford company. So they picked up the slack.

I’m sure it will be kind of the same thing as the IRS investigations.....only 97% of the organizations stymied from attaining their 501c3 status were Tea Party or Pro-Life or Christian organizations. Only 96% of the closed GM dealerships were associated with Repub donors...this proves there was no pattern. (Made-up numbers, not from any source other than my snarky noggin)

That’s pretty much already been reported on and proven. Same deal with Gibson Guitars. Gibson contributed to Republicans and was almost put out of business for using ‘illegal’ matrials which weren’t illegal at all. They confiscated their entire inventory, while its chief competitor who donated to democrats was left untouched even rhough they were using the exact same materials.

ABSOLUTELY...
In Indianapolis, Republican supporting Porter Dodge lost both stores, including one in the inner-City, while minority-owned Democrat-supporting Kennedy Dodge, one of the lowest-rated Chrysler stores in the nation, kept it’s franchise. It later went under, but not for a couple of years.

Ask “Fox & Friends” Greta Carlson about this one. The car dealership her grandfather started was closed by Obama even though it was making a profit. Why the dealers didn’t file a class action suit against the unlawful taking of their property is a mystery to me....but perhaps they were afraid the IRS would take their homes as well if they protested.

In the words of Kevin Brady at yesterday’s IRS hearing: “Is this still America???”
