We’ve come full circle: The Co. of the man who paid his employees more so that they could better afford the product he was selling...is moving out of the country to avoid paying wages.
Yes. If Trump counters Ford with the following:
Ford CEO says no jobs were lost. Not the point.
1000s of jobs in Mexico created which could have added to US UAW worker roles.
Ford CEO is an A-Hole.
I guarantee that in the closing days of the campaign that Trump will say that he one the Republican primary of 16 globalist stooges because the Republicsn base was sick of the betrayal of their party and that he will protect blacks and Hispanics from the Democrat globalists. The turncoat Chamber of Commerce will squeal like the pigs they are but it will flip many Democrats to Trump.
I don’t think the unions will allow them to vote for Trump.
Game, match, set.
Mark Levin says that nobody is losing their jobs over this because they are going to be building other things there. For how long I ask. For how long?
His hatred for Trump blinds hm to the realization that it cold have meant 2800 additional jobs for Americans out of work. He has lost his friggin mind!
Snip:
In an online poll conducted for Bloomberg News, 55% of whites with no more than a high school degree, said they support Trump. In my plant, there are a lot of people who are saying “I’m voting for Trump and I’m not ashamed of it.”
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has supported NAFTA and the TPP in the past, while Donald Trump has promised to re-negotiate NAFTA and to oppose the TPP. Union members like that kind of talk, and that’s why so many of them are breaking with their union bosses to support Donald Trump.
“Could Ford moving to Mexico move Michigan into Trump’s column?”
Maybe the THREAT of Ford moving to Mexico will be beneficial to Trump. If elected, he could start the wheels turning to keep the jobs here. The company can’t move and start an operation there in a few months’ time. This could be a plus for the campaign.
A lot of the blame should lie on the new CEO, Mark Fields who, also, says Trump is wrong about jobs. I’ve noticed Ford hasn’t been doing so well since he took the reigns.
He says he is voting for Trump, yet he will not stop bashing the guy. Why not bash Hildabeast double time Mark?
A union official is going to follow every member into the voting booth?
“Ford CEO is an A-Hole.”
Perhaps but don’t fail to realize that the CEO of a company, any company, is to maintain viability, make a profit and bring a acceptable return to the stockholders period.
It’s the governments job to NOT get in the way of their ability to do that on American soil. Unfortunately, the opposite has been the case.
A buddy of mine is Union and follows the Facebook threads for them.
They are all going Trunp realizing he’s the only one that’ll protect American jobs.
Some white collar folks (computer programmers) realizing it, too.
“..I don’t think the unions will allow them to vote for Trump...”
Union extortion has had its day. Companies like Ford are finally being taxed, waged and regulated OUT OF AMERICA. The stage is set. Time will tell.
Someone needs to start a new American car company that is non-UAW.
“Maybe the THREAT of Ford moving to Mexico will be beneficial to Trump. If elected, he could start the wheels turning to keep the jobs here. The company can’t move and start an operation there in a few months’ time. This could be a plus for the campaign.”
I’m thinking the same. Perhaps Ford wanted to engage a bit in this campaign and help deliver Michigan to Trump, in the hope that Trump will make manufacturing profitable here again.
If that wasn’t the intent, they sure timed it well, as they could have simply waited another 8 weeks until after the election.

Yep nothing new about that. In the history of mankind it's always been about finding
ways for more efficient production. And that generally means some are losing jobs.
Automation better equipment, new techniques, etc have always changed the way people
have lived over the millenniums. Adaption is the key to prosperity. JMO.
