“Could Ford moving to Mexico move Michigan into Trump’s column?”
Maybe the THREAT of Ford moving to Mexico will be beneficial to Trump. If elected, he could start the wheels turning to keep the jobs here. The company can’t move and start an operation there in a few months’ time. This could be a plus for the campaign.

I’m thinking the same. Perhaps Ford wanted to engage a bit in this campaign and help deliver Michigan to Trump, in the hope that Trump will make manufacturing profitable here again.
If that wasn’t the intent, they sure timed it well, as they could have simply waited another 8 weeks until after the election.
