Trump's Closing Pitch In The Rust Belt: Your Factories Are Moving To Mexico, John Kasich Voted For NAFTA And Supports TPP.
Almost every time Donald Trump mentioned free trade or protecting American workers from low-paid foreign competition this weekend in Illinois and Ohio, he was interrupted by protesters.
-snip-
"Right here [in Cleveland]," Trump said Saturday. "We've got on the left, you have Ford, the Ford Foundry," Trump said. "And that's moving to Mexico. And on the right you have Eaton. And that's moving to Mexico."
"It is crazy, what we're doing to our country is crazy... I'm a conservative person, but I'm in theory not so conservative on trade," he said. "Any direction I can point to, you're losing jobs, you're losing your plants. We're not going to let it happen any more."
"But your governor, I don't know if you know this, this is a tremendous problem. Your governor when he was a congressman voted for NAFTA," he said about his main opponent in the Ohio primary: Gov. John Kasich. "He's now in favor of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It is a disaster. It is going to ruin your car industry, totally ruin it, and believe me, that deal is very bad for a lot of reasons."

Great news. Do u think he can win Ohio?
Did you forget your sarcasm tag? Or was that post for real?
Isn’t that like voting for Hillary?
Kasich is an anti-American fraud.
Trump voters. Always such charming people.
Cruzer voting “strategically” for Kasich? When you stand for nothing, you are nothing.
The three stages of NAFTA:
Damed BRs didn’t work out right. They looked OK in the Preview mode.
Kasick is an anti-American fraud.
Like the rest of the GOPe open border thugs!
Trumpers squeeze their eyes shut, put their fingers in their ears and sing ‘lalalalalala’ whenever uncomfortable truths are brought out against their idol - even if it’s right out of the idols mouth.
DENYDENYDENY -
Not only are clothes made for Trumps clothing made out of country - in Mexico, China and Bangladesh, but for others of his companies, he uses the cheap labor thru the US visa program -
All of the things he’s now attacking other companies for -
When pinned on the hypocrisy, he shrugs and says he HAS to - can’t afford not to. and besides ‘it’s all legal.” (Does anyone ask him about ‘ethical”?)
And no one sees the duplicity - the dishonesty?
He has spent 40 years doing business this way , while bribing “donating” huge sums to the powers that be to grease the wheels.
Now he says, when he’s president, he will change,
So open the door to the hen house, folks, and install the fox. I’m sure he’ll guard them well...
You can bet not ONE Trumpster will answer these honestly - just attack anyone who dares say anything, no matter how true, about their idol. They certainly won’t see that those gold plated feet are CLAY.
When pinned by David Letterman about where his clothing line is made - he tries to fluff it off saying “I don’t know...” and rambling on. - but Dave won’t let him get away with it - BUT YOU TRUMPSTERS WILL =

and THEN there’s this sweet deal with Rich Chinese in return for giving them a PERMANENT VISA.
Title: “Rich Chinese Funding Trump Tower in Exchange for Visas “ and Trump gets his
Towers” funded with free money. but but but - it’s “legal”) )

and here’s yet ANOTHER worker visa program he takes advantage off - and on top of that, lies and cheats the workers - his mouthpiece mumbles and stutters and can’t even defend it, saying what they put of the forms isn’t what they have to honor...

(Don’t worry. That fox won’t pluck your chickens)
Hypocrisy, thy name is Trump - as are your sycophants.
Even if he does half of what he says....it is far better then anything Hillary or Sanders will do.
I don't know if Trump can fix it simply because I'm not sure the problem is fixable at this late date.
All I know is that it is 4 years past now or never time and if we elect Clinton or Sanders America as we know it is doomed.
The only two who have a chance to repair the damage are Trump or Cruz and I like Trump more on this issue because he is American economic nationalist who is starting from a much harder negotiating position on economic issues.
That said, neither Cruz or Trump have provided much in the way of how they will manage international trade and what their trade policies will be.
You are presenting an irrelevant, straw man argument.
The fact is that America no has a domestic textile or apparel business to speak of so it really is impossible to purchase anything but expensive specialty or boutique apparel that is made in the United States so purchasing any American made apparel is not a realistic option.
except, of course if it were Cruz or others who were doing business this way.
THEN it would be traitorous
Trump can do no wrong, as he famously said, he could shoot someone on national TV and his followers (sycophants) would still follow, in lemming-step, over the cliff.
Don't get your other points but Trumps comments you refer to were taken out of context .
Trump was discussing the current political climate and how the establishment politicians in both parties have brought us to this point.
He was observing that the success of his candidacy was largely due to that political climate and the anger that our political class has generated in the voters over the last 8 years and that negative campaign tactics were not working on him because they simply validated and fueled the anger Americans feel towards the political class.
Trump observed that the last time the world has seen such anger was in Germany in the 1930s
All in all, very honest and true comments .
BTW, you are wrong - I am a huge Cruz supporter , not a Trump supporter.
I'm just honest and realistic about the candidates and I am not dumb enough to blindly buy a trumped up (no pun intended) to buy the partisan smears and character assignations that are being thrown at both men, either of whom would do a very good job as President
Hypocrite: Donald Trump’s companies have sought visas to import at least 1,100 workers
