There is more to it that just race.
What has happened in the last generation is a trend toward outsourcing American jobs.
This is a loss for all Americans. Yet we as Republicans have supported this right up to the point is has now cost us the Whitehouse.
Granted the media bias has been particularly heavy this time, and I believe we have not actually lost yet. At least not permanently.
But we lost the last election. And it was because we had no counterpoint.
It is important for Republicans to get out of the outsourcing mode, and start finding ways to build up America.
America.
Outsourcing jobs is a problem with the economics of profits. Unions hurt profits so I am in favor of shipping those manufacturing jobs overseas. Bringing in manufacturing jobs into right to work states, e.g., republican/red states means no unionization in most cases. These factories make more profit, but keep their prices high so as not to destroy the union plants whose profits are low; there is a reason the foreign car manufacturers did not go to the North or UAW states. The most profitable business model is to find a democrat monopoly like the MSM and counter with a FOX, or a GM plant and build Hondas. There is less competition, and your profit as the competitor is higher because you do not have overhead associated with the democrat social model. While GM is shipping jobs overseas from the Blue States, the Germans and Japanese are shipping jobs to the Red states. Should have been a campaign commercial on this.
