RUSH: The president promised to bring back manufacturing jobs. The headline from the Wall Street Journal: “U.S. Steel to Invest $1.2 Billion at Pennsylvania Mills — United States Steel Corp. outlined plans Thursday for the biggest upgrade of its steelmaking operations in decades by investing more than a $1 billion in its plants near,” the steel city.
“The company also intends to build a cogeneration plant at its coking coal ovens in nearby Clairton to decrease emissions by using waste gases from the coking process to generate electricity.”
Wherever you look. You want the Never Trumper take on this? I have for you, ladies and gentlemen, the Never Trumper take on the roaring, unprecedented, never better since 1969 United States economy, and where do we go to find it? Why, nowhere else than CNN. And who is the Never Trumper? John Kasich, the former governor of Ohio.
The infobabe is Kate Bolduan. She says to former Governor Kasich, “Well, we can all agree that with the economy going gangbusters you would think that Trump’s approval rating would be much higher. Do you think it’s that he’s just not talking about it enough? Because, I mean, it’s not like he’s short on liking to brag about things.”
KASICH: First of all, there is a sense that I have a job today, but will I have one tomorrow?
RUSH: Stop the tape! Here we are in the midst of a roaring economy, the wage-per-hour has skyrocketed 27 bucks, 77 cents an hour, the lowest unemployment rate since 1969, and the Never Trumpers led by John Kasich, “Well, yeah, but, you know, everybody’s really worried about losing their job tomorrow, everybody’s got a job today, yeah, but they’re all worried about losing it tomorrow.”
Really? Really? That sounds like the newly minted millionaire who worries that there’s gonna be a new wealth tax the next day and take it all away from him. But it doesn’t happen. Well, not in one big swoop it doesn’t. All right. Here’s the rest of this, if you want stomach it.
KASICH: That’s an issue that I think Democrat candidates have to talk about. Because there is a sense of job insecurity. Things may be good today, but what about tomorrow? And then there’s the rise of the gig economy, where people are kind of on their own out there. There’s concern because technology may wipe out a whole heck of a lot of the jobs that people are in now. But in the short term, hey, the unemployment is lower…
BOLDUAN: Right.
KASICH: …jobs are up, give the guy credit. Give him credit where it’s due.
BOLDUAN: I hear you.
KASICH: However, people are also saying I don’t like a lot of the way he does things. And we can talk about the fact that he’s got 43% approval in your poll. Well, that’s a heck of a lot of disapproval. And if I had those numbers and I was running for re-election, I’d be concerned.
RUSH: That’s the Never Trumpers cannot find — begrudgingly let’s acknowledge it, but then let’s make up fact that nobody believes it because they think they’re gonna lose the job tomorrow or they’re gonna be wiped out by robots or gonna be wiped out by technology and they hate the way Donald Trump talks and tweets, so it really doesn’t matter.
In CNN’s poll, Trump’s approval is at 43%, and it’s climbing, it’s the highest it’s ever been in a CNN poll. But do you know what his approval is in the CNN poll on the economy? Anybody want to take a wild guess like the National Weather Service does every day? Fifty-six percent. Trump hasn’t been 56% in any poll on anything ever. Fifty-six percent approval on the economy before this day’s numbers were reported. It’s a poll that was released earlier in the week.
And so they’re doing everything they can to try to shade this and to tell people, “Don’t get too excited about it because we know that you’re worried you could lose your job tomorrow.” Now, a lot of people may not be worried about losing their jobs tomorrow until they hear the possibility raised on CNN, and they say, “Should I be worried about losing my job? I’m not even thinking about it.” And this is how negativism is spread.
I hear the government is looking into drones to deliver the mail. Next thing you know they’ll be inventing robots to replace congresscritters. Just program in their party platforms and the robot can spew out or vote the party line on command.
43% approval, does not indicate 57% disapproval.
A lot of folks don’t have an opinion. The disapproval number may be smaller than 43%.
Yesterday at the top of the hour, the radio newsbabe was announcing the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years and then followed it up by saying: “The reason for those numbers is because most unemployed people have stopped looking for work.”
Good point. We've already lost the house to the rats again. The the tariffs are not permanent. And China has bought Biden's son.
Rat's could and would roll back Trump's accomplishment just out of spite.
Kasich reminds me of the pessimist boy.
They put the optimist boy in a room full of horse manure and the pesimist boy in a room full of every kind of toy you could imagine.
The checked on them in an hour. The pessimist boy was sitting in the middle of the floor crying. They said what’s wrong? Don’t you like the toys? The boy said, yes, but they aren’t mine and I’m going to have to leave them behind when I go home.
They checked on the optimist boy who was happily digging away. They said, “what are you doing? don’t you realize that’s manure?” The optimist boy said “Yeah, with all this manure in here, there’s bound to be a pony in here somewhere.”
Go die in a fire, Kasich.
You could be dead tomorrow or next week. What is the point this fool is trying to make?
You could be dead tomorrow or next week. Their are no guarantees when it comes to the average job. What is his argument really ?
I could not care less what K-sick has to say but, Kate Bolduan is a hottie! First time I’ve regretted not watching CNN ever.
The economy is booming.
Unemployment is at record lows.
Minorities support Trump in greater numbers than the past election and particularly among Hispanics.
A quote from a former governor of Louisiana a most corrupt man, “The only way I will not win this next election is if they catch me in bed with a live boy or dead woman.” He did win but was put in jail for a few years for bribes and corruption.
Trump is bullet proof.
Not....they'll find never Trumpers....
Wherever Former Ohio is, he should stay there and not show up on American TV.
Do you worry that if Trump loses in 2020 then you will lose your job also?
Unwittinglly, that is what Kasich is saying...that the boom is dependent on one person...and not on his actions.
“The reason for those numbers is because most unemployed people have stopped looking for work.”
