If Trump gets elected he'll have power.

You won't.

Nobody's going to be afraid of you.

Funny how they don’t seem to understand that.

The only reason to be a little bit afraid of them is because they’re nuts.

Think again. Trump is going to constantly use his Twitter bully pulpit to put pressure on people who need persuasion.  True, no individual person has power, but collectively we do.  And collectively we are bringing down the GOPe under Trump's and Cruz's leadership.

I'm talking about Ford, Nabisco, etc.  They can move their plants to Mexico, but what if Americans stop buying Fords?

Toyota makes most of the cars it sells in America at US plants employing US workers.  But if no political pressure was put on them, then Toyota would happily make all its cars in Japan.

In the big industries that employ millions of people, it's nice to have the manufacturing knowhow in the country.

Why is China so eager to have Boeing build a plant in China?

In other cases it doesn't matter so much.  For instance, almost all clothes today are manufactured in Asia.  If that weren't the case then department stores could never afford to staff their stores with clerks.  In this case, the low cost of clothing made in Indonesia enables retail jobs in the USA.
