During tonight's CBS Republican presidential debate, Donald Trump was the only candidate to address the news that Carrier will be sending hundreds of American jobs to Mexico.
The GOP frontrunner said that under a President Trump, Carrier would stay and "build in the United States because we are killing ourselves with trade pacts that are no good for us and no good for our workers."
Video footage emerged yesterday, which went viral, capturing the anger and heartache of 1,400 Indianapolis workers who were informed that they soon would be out of work, as their company will be sending their jobs to Mexico. The New York Post described the video as "stomach-turning."
The company representative tried to quiet the crowd, as workers of different races and ethnicities cried out in outrage and despair. "Let's quiet down," the company representative said in the video.
Trump brought up Carrier's move to Mexico, not just once but on two separate occasions during the debate.
Early in the debate, Trump said:
I'm going to bring jobs back from China. I'm going to bring jobs back from Mexico and from Japan, where they're all -- every country throughout the world -- now Vietnam, that's the new one. They are taking our jobs. They are taking our wealth... We're going to bring that money back. You take a look at what happened just this week, China bought the Chicago Stock Exchange, China, a Chinese company. Carrier is moving to Mexico, air conditioning company. Not only the ones I talk about all the time, Nabisco and Ford and -- they're all moving out.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. I think I understand your position clearly :-).
Carrier is the gold standard in major mechanical equipment for buildings Nationwide.
They are going to take a tremendous hit when their products are no longer specified by US engineers.
That sounds remarkably like the Bernie crowd who believe if we tax the rich enough, everyone will be comfortable. I know you’re not a lefty, so your comment seems misplaced.
What does it mean to “care”? Does it mean to vote for higher taxes? That’s what rich leftist who “care” about the poor mean.
What do rich ... er, populists? ... who “care” about the unemployed mean? Just talk? Or personally act with their own resources?
As I said above, I don’t care if Trump “cares.” I’m only pointing out an inconsistency on the part of those who claim he does.
Those are all good points. Different points from the one I was making, but good points.
I know they were different. Yours were great and did not need elaboration. I just wanted to add to the conversation without clicking on the posters who just spew hatred back to anyone who does not worship at the Trump altar. Thanks for listening.
Ok what “hatred” are you referring to? I see no one expressing any hatred toward you or your comments.
Wow.
You come on what is clearly a Trump thread, then get angry about some imagined push-back.
Imagined, because I can’t find a single instance.
THEN, you quickly claim victim status.
Surely, as a member of ‘The Face of God’ cult you should be immune.
Reduce the business tax. Increase tariff-equivalent taxes.
Trump "cares" by proposing higher taxes on the company! Brilliant!
“Ultimately-—USA wages are comparable to third world. Lifestyle in USA comparable to third world. Even playing field. “
Did you know that Trump is calling for even lower wages in the US? He thinks “the wages are too high”.

Wow. What an ignorant comment.
You are exhibit A.
You are Exhibit B.
I disagreed with you and that is hated to you? what you got from was discussion but if you want to see hatred I know how to dish out hatred.
I guess you didn't watch the debate!
Wow. What an ignorant comment.

“As I said above, I don’t care if Trump “cares.†I’m only pointing out an inconsistency on the part of those who claim he does.”
Better to help the 14 million than the 14 hundred.
One thousand four hundred new Trump supporters...
