Bernie desperately wishes it was still 1965.

Nissan is one of the best things that ever happened to Mississippi.
Bernie Sanders arrival, quite the contrary.

Agreed on all points. Someone should remind these weak minded fossils about the Port of New Orleans. The longshoreman’s union and others got so greedy back in the day that the facilities at Mobile were improved, and the Port of Houston was constructed from scratch. The Port of New Orleans since then has only about 1/3rd the traffic it had before the unions got piggish. Union fools and extortionists, then and now.

I think this has more to do with pulling union members who voted for Trump back into the loser crab basket they’ve been in for 30 years, supporting Demoncrats.

I drive a Nissan Frontier pick-up that was built at the Canton plant; excellent product—when it wears out in 10 or 15 years, I'll gladly buy another. Someone ought to ask the lib activists what the average hourly wage in Canton was before Nissan came to town.

I’m pretty sure Trent Lott and Thad Cochran will be cheering them on. after all, they revel in the Political “Inside Baseball”, principle be damned.

I hear Ms is one of the poorest states in the country. Bernie must be there to make sure it stays that way.

I watched the video. It has nothing to do with Mississippi. It has nothing to do with Nissan. It has to do with greedy unionists wanting to extort money from a private company. I hope that Nissan holds firm against these thugs!

The only march Bernie Sanders knows about is to the bank.
