GOP Primaries/Caucuses Discussions, Jokes and Predictions

[Forty Two]

Are you having a sook again?

[Forty Two]

So, Cruz is out. God must be disappointed that his candidate quit. Did God want him to quit, or did Cruz lose faith and disobey God? Let's wait and see who gets smitten....

Reince Priebus came out and called Trump the presumptive nominee and called on Republicans to support him.

So, the idea of a brokered convention and a "never Trump" seems to have been a bluff.

The conventional wisdom is now going to be the Trump has no chance against Hillary, who is just too strong to beat. When she's done losing states to Bernie Sanders, we'll see how that holds up.

Trumps the man for me. You can trust a woman with many things. Running a country is not one of them. I'm all for gender equality but in a dangerous world dominated by male alphas you don't want some one whose too sensitive, or is badly unstable at certain times of the month, in the global top slot.

Folks are against American manufacturing going overseas to cheap, substandard working-conditions, environments, right? We don't want Carrier and Boeing to go to Mexico and China to take advantage of Mexican and Chinese shit working conditions and 10 cents a day wages,right? We wish Apple made their devices here in the States and employed American workers at $20 to $40 an hour, right? Well, Drumpf is on your side, and is promising to take concrete action to change the conditions such that it is not attractive any longer to do that.

If he does that then who is going to make his clothes?

[pErvinalia]

That bit from 42 doesn't make sense anyway. He reckons Trump is for fair trade. Fair trade isn't about restoring American manufacturing. I doubt trump gives much of a fuck about either. But it's pretty much impossible to tell at this point.

I doubt Trump could do that anyway. Not without breaking world trade agreements.

Americans? I mean, if he does "that" (bring manufacturing back to the US) then "that" would be brought back to the US....

Doesn't explain why he isn't already doing it. He profits from the foreign labour he's criticising.

Well, in a way it is. Because if you make Mexico improve it's working conditions and pay high wages, then you make manufacturing there more expensive. As that happens, the incentive to move there goes down.

So, the intent may be, from the "fair trade" hippies, to help the poor in Mexico and China, and Trump's intent may be to help the "poor" here in the US by bringing/keeping jobs here for them -- that doesn't make the economic effects different.

What makes you doubt Trump giving a fuck about restoring American manufacturing? It's been the cornerstone of his campaign. He sees American business in the US, employing American citizens and legal residents, as good for the United States. What's doubtful about that?

The north American free trade agreement, we only have to give 6 months notice we're quitting it.

Trade agreements aren't broken by being renegotiated, or by countries exiting them. No country is forever bound to a treaty. Countries are bound until they withdraw.

Because he's a liar.

[Animavore]

What's doubtful about that?

The fact that he sends jobs for his own businesses abroad.

She's an alpha.

she's as bad as the thatch, that's for sure, even if she's slightly milder mannered.
