ALso of note is the testimony of major Chrysler dealers before Congress on Thursday: it costs Chrysler NOTHINg to have a dealership.
Let’s let that fact sink in: NOTHING.
So, if it costs nothing, why close any dealership. The bigger your dealer network, the more cars you can sell and service as a brand.
As for people saying 90 % of the dealers were Republicans, how could anyone know that withoiiut a study of all the dealers?
More state run media lies to counter the emerging facts about the muscling out of GOP sympathetic dealers, in order to strengthen the Dem dealers.
You beat me by one post!
There's the problem.
This issue has been going on for weeks, and thru-out that time, many, many have said what you said.
The response is that we will do that or we are in the process of doing that. But, as yet, no one has published the data.
Enough time has passed to have done it. Its time to put up or shut up.
In the mean time, Fox News did a random sampling of closed dealers and open dealers. They said there was no difference.
You can also look at the details of closed dealer's contributions. That list was published by Chelsea Schilling at World Nut Daily.
The total dealers, 58 republican donors plus 7 democrat donors, out of 1789 closed dealers is a very, very percentage
Looking closer at the republican donors, there is a significant amount that money going to state level candidates and organizations.
Of the 58 republican donors, 14(about 25%) contributed $500 or less. There were 6(about 10%) that contributed $10,000 or more.
If you add up the total amount of money the republican dealers contributed and then deduct the amount donated at the state level, it is less than $100,000.
BFD!
