Trump may accomplish something no GOP candidate has been able to do for years, attract rank-and-file unionists. The AFL-CIO won’t protect them from Obama’s open border.

I also think he should continue to remind African Americans that mass immigration will make their lives worse. Most blacks know this but none of their “leadership” dares give voice to it.

What until Sour Kraut and Will find out he eats Oreos and not French-imported macaroons and Dutch-process hot chocolate!

I’m sure my household eats 10 packages of OREOs per year. No mas... no more... says this flea to Nabisco’s elephant.

So Nabisco is moving the manufacture of their Oreos to Mejico.

Ole!

I'll never eat them again even though I somewhat like 'em....but I'll bet las cucarachas in the factories south of the border like 'em, too.

Ugh!

Health care trashed, muzzie vermin, illegals invading, economy tanked, market crash, now Oreos go Mexican? Definitely end times. Guess I bought my last package of Vanilla Oreos. Sigh.

Here's the thing... Oreo's won't be any cheaper after they are being made in Mexico with 1/4 the labor costs and sugar at half price. The shelf price will remain the same... so the excuse is a bunch of BS.

That being said, if I owned the company, I'd do exactly the same thing. These people aren't in business because they want to donate their time and cookies. he answer is to make American labor attractive again. The answer is lowering corporate taxes on US manufacturers and raising it for those who import goods for sale in our markets. The day it costs the same to manufacture in the US as it does in Canada or Mexico is the day manufacturers will stop dealing with the extra hassles of cross border games.

Donald Trump Won’t Eat Oreos Ever Again Since Nabisco is Moving to Mexico

Nor will I.

Thank you Mr. Trump for that enlightening piece of information.

They have outsourced all of the cleaning services already.

Our manufacturing is on the verge of collapse

Now this.

We will be a consumer nation but the only problem is that we will only have the goods to consume that BIG Government gives us.

Why? Because there will be no means to earn them.

Welcome to the Government Utopia and do not blame it on the Democrats.....!!!!!

The parent company of Nabisco, Mondelez International, ”will lay off half of its 1,200 employees in its bakery on Chicago's Southwest Side after deciding to make a major investment in a Mexico plant rather than its long-standing facility here”….”decided not to make a $130 million upgrade to the facility, the company's largest U.S. bakery, which dates to the 1950s, because the three unions that represent workers either did not make a proposal to keep the work or their concession packages were inadequate, said Laurie Guzzinati, a Mondelez spokeswoman.”

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-nabisco-mondelez-plant-0730-biz-20150729-story.html

Of course the unions claim that that was it was Mondelez’s plan all along to shift some of its production to Mexico, however the union also admitted that they never submitted a proposal to keep the jobs in Chicago.

"The only reason they made an appeal to Chicago is so that they can try to get $46 million in concessions back from Chicago," said Ed Burpo, president of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Local 300, which represents about 1,000 workers at the plant and did not submit a proposal. "The company had already made the decision where those lines were going."

Dear Mr. Trump,
before you blame Nabisco too much for moving their Oreo plant to Mexico,
consider that the main ingredient of the cookies is Sugar..
and look at the administration’s sugar tariffs, regulations

and you (as a businessman) will see right away ... how WashingtonDC is forcing Nabisco to move its factory out of USA

Trump said. “No, Nabisco closes the plant, they just announced a couple of days ago, in Chicago and they are moving the plant to Mexico. Now, why?”

Well, Donald, because Democrats have made Illinois a terrible place to do business. Cook County Democrats have doubled down on making the county a terrible place to do business. Worse, Chicago has doubled down on that in making the city a terrible place to do business.

He won't name the disease, so how can he know the cure? He's so up front and open when going after the victims, but too politically correct to call Democrat policies the problem. The perps get a pass from Trump (D-NY). Not impressed.

Count me in Mr. Trump.

There are some satisfactory alternatives to the Oreo. Even some ‘store brands’ are decent (although some are definitely not!).

Cut up Macy’s credit card, check (I’m also short Macy’s stock at 65). No more Oreo’s, check. Dump FOX news, check (I don’t miss it either).

Trump failed to mention that Ford leaving the US is due to several issues:

1. Unions.

2. Taxes

3. EPA Regs

4. Lawsuits and other assorted legal BS

5. The lack of intelligence of the American worker. (before you tough guys go off, remember why Toyota left Ohio and went to Canada--They did not want to spend the money to dumb down the place to accomodate the stupid workers!)

Trump taxing or fining them is the wrong solution to the problem. I say this as someone that would not mind a Trump/Cruz ticket.

You know things are bad when American workers fear losing their jobs to outsourcing in order for the company to employ cheap laborers.

It's been happening for years. Where has this guy been?

To hell with corporate America. Ever since big-business started pushing amnesty and promoting the homo agenda, I’ve done all I could to stop purchasing their products. They’ve become nothing less than an enemy within, spitting in the face of everything I believe and cherish. I instead buy small, local, or mom-and-pop items. Cookies, potato chips, pies, barbecue sauce, whatever. Anything and everything. I’ve gotten to the point where at least 80-to-90% of my purchases are decidedly small-business product.

I watched CNN last night because Fox was all reruns. They had so called GOP pundits going crazy with hatred towards Trump.

When the left and RINOs both hate the same man you know he is doing something right.

These pundits are nothing more than sellouts hired by the Chamber of Commerce.

I guarantee if Jeb isn’t the nominee they will vote for Hillary. I have no doubt about that.

Oreo is an offensive term. They should be called anchor cookies.

Many of our favorite candy bars are also now being made in Mexico. I don’t buy candy anymore because of that.
