Cruz:

1) Ivy League Lawyer, 2) Funded by billionaires, 3) Supported Corker bill, TPP, TPA, 500% increase in H1B visas (backed down only when grassroots went ballistic). I might still support Cruz (and certainly will if he is the nominee), but let’s not fool ourselves about insider/outsider status. One final thought, every Republican candidate will finish their quest for the presidency richer than when they began, with the possible exception of Trump.

Free trade! It’s what the Establishment/Globalist love!

They will keep telling you it’s the best thing ever while we slowly turn into a third world $hit hole.

How much has Trump invested overseas? I’d wager its hundreds of millions that he chose to invest overseas, creating jobs overseas, rather than invest in the US.

I had the privilege of working with a number of manufacturing sites across the state in my old job. There is a terrific manufacturing workforce in Ohio, union and non-union. Craftsmen, dedication, quality-conscious, made in the U.S.A. pride. They have suffered. I want it back.

But he still has thousands of American employees here in the US

How many people has Cruz hired? And don't include campaign wonks

Yeah all those hotels he’s built here, 10s of thousands of construction jobs then the admin and service workers that are needed to keep the place humming.

As far as the “foreign” investments go you’d have to dig deeper to see what he actually owns vs. what has licensed his name. No shortage of BS claims here on FR blaming the man for things only his name is associated with.

Bottom line. There is no comparison between Trump and any other candidate when it comes to employing Americans.

You’ve got to be kidding. You’re faulting a businessman for making investments in other countries? Do you think that’s the same thing as relocating a manufacturing facility to a foreign country? You think building a hotel in Dubai or owning a casino in Macau is anti-American?

If people don’t invest in the U.S. it’s because the potential return isn’t worth the assumed risks. Period. The culprit, btw, is onerous regulations, high taxes, and a hostile legal environment.

yes

No difference, both are sending jobs and money overseas.

In all these years did Trump ever push for a reduction in the regulations?

So he gets credit for things with his name when its useful but when it looks bad then his name has no value?

Investing overseas especially in tax friendly countries is just too much of a good deal. Ask Apple!

That’s absurd. Congress is stuck on stupid. Both Republicans and dems agree corporate inversion should cease yet they do nothing for decades. The choice is lose money in the US or make money in a money friendly environment.

The average wage in Mexico is $37 month. A auto worker makes $85,000 per year with benies. Conclusion move the auto plants to Mexico or go out of business in US.

One of the catch 22's of conservatism. Economic freedom to run your business and invest where it is most profitable is good. Economic freedom to run your business and invest where it is most profitable is bad, if you eliminate American jobs.
