What part of Trump's message do you think Democrats would support?

I bet that anti immigrant message resounds with those rednecks up in
the rust belt who watched their UAW jobs go south. You folks assume
all democrats are latte sipping erudites, sitting around debating the
virtues of public transit but there are plenty of blue collar
democrats. Without them, you would not win many elections



Those UAW jobs didn't go "south" because of immigrants, they went south
to Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas because the jobless peopole
down there were hungry for any sort of decent work, and didn't care
whether the corporations would exploit them, and pay them far less in
salary and benefits.

You make a lot of assumptions about "folks" you don't really know.

I know a bunch of UAW people. My wife's family and most of their
friends worked for Chrysler or Delco.
Before Tennessee, the jobs were going to Mexico and a lot of the
manufacturing is still there. That is where the Delco Radio operation
went when my mother in law, 2 sisters in law and several of their
friends lost their jobs. The last time I was in Kokomo, that was a big
empty building.
Ask those people what they think of Mexicans.


Once again, it isn't the Mexicans who screwed over these workers...it is
their former employers. The anger should be directed at the companies
who moved the jobs offshore for greed while in search of cheap labor and
weak environmental and safety standards. While there will be some
workers who may blame the Mexican workers, Chinese workers, Vietnamese
workers, et cetera, most know by now it was their former corporate
employers who did them dirty.

Maybe not but emotions are seldom driven by fact


And neither are your posts on this issue and many others. Everyone knws a
bunch of people and has an anecdote about this, that, or the other, but
you cannot quantify in any scientific way the number of "American"
workers who lost their jobs because of corporate flight and instead of
blaming the corporations blame the workers who got their jobs.

If your friends and in-laws are still blaming Mexicans for loss of their
jobs, they're in a time warp.


And why did those companies move the jobs? Maybe because they could not
afford to pay an uneducated laborer $135k with benefits to put lug nuts on
a car on an assembly line.



You're just jealous because those "uneducated laborer" types earned more
per annum from salary and OT than you ever did, right, Bilious?

There must be a lot of people in the same time warp.



Oh, *now* Trump's lead in the GOP polling means something to you? Funny,
it didn't seem to mean much to you last week.

Much as I would like to see Trump win the GOP nomination and thus help
bury that party, I don't see it happening. Maybe he's going to mount a
third party Independent run. Who knows.

But what Trump's presence is doing is creating massive problems, perhaps
short term, perhaps long term, for the GOP, and its 2016 presidential
aspirations. So, I say, bon chance, Donald.

Trump is showing well in the GOP polls right now because he can
articulate his racist, anti-ethnic remarks better than the other GOP
candidates who, in reality, are probably more anti-ethnic and racist
than he is. He's also an obnoxious, low-information, loudmouthed
demigogue, and Republicans go for that, too...c.f., Sarah Palin, and
several of the other current GOP presidential nomination wannabe's.

I'd just bet that Trump is the favorite of several of our right-wing
posters here in .wrecked.boats. They won't admit it, but...they love
him.




The scariest thing about imagining Trump as POTUS is he would have the
keys to the "football".



There are at least a dozen GOP wannabe's in the nominating race to whom
that comment could easily apply.



"Damn! I can't find my keys", Hillary replied as she searched the

Working class folks might very well support his anti-immigration
stance.


Working folks don't want the jobs illegal immigrants take. The only
overlap might be in the construction industry and those guys are
already scraping the IQ barrel from breathing portland cement dust.
Which means they're voting Republican already. If they're part of the
trades, they don't hire illegals for union gigs.


Do working legal immigrants not want the jobs illegal immigrants take?

workers who may blame the Mexican workers, Chinese workers, Vietnamese
workers, et cetera, most know by now it was their former corporate
employers who did them dirty.


Is it your opinion that the millions of illegal Mexican immigrants in
this country
have no bearing on the job market?

Or is that one too hard. Or maybe I'm not 'entitled' enough.




Well, they'd certainly keep you from getting a job.


Guys John's age are usually fixed well enough that they don't need to go
looking for work.

virtues of public transit but there are plenty of blue collar
democrats. Without them, you would not win many elections


Globalism has surely screwed the middle class, but given the choice
between big business Republicans and their uber wealthy constituents
and the Democrats who've always supported unions and the working

My ex-wife worked at the Lordstown, OH GM plant straight out of high school back in the late 70's. Skilled assembly job? What a laugh. Barely trained monkey work is more like it. And the pay was damn good, and the union protected your job no matter how badly you screwed up. She used to boast about the time she purposely caused the assembly line to shut down. Got called in to be fired, but the union rep saved her.

That kind of union crap is what ultimately moved those jobs down south and to Mexico. The union had a big hand in the loss of middle class manufacturing in America.

to Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas because the jobless

down there were hungry for any sort of decent work, and didn't
care
whether the corporations would exploit them, and pay them far
less in

You make a lot of assumptions about "folks" you don't really know.

I know a bunch of UAW people. My wife's family and most of their
friends worked for Chrysler or Delco.
Before Tennessee, the jobs were going to Mexico and a lot of the

operation
went when my mother in law, 2 sisters in law and several of their

Once again, it isn't the Mexicans who screwed over these
workers...it is
their former employers. The anger should be directed at the
companies
who moved the jobs offshore for greed while in search of cheap
labor and
weak environmental and safety standards. While there will be some
workers who may blame the Mexican workers, Chinese workers,
Vietnamese
workers, et cetera, most know by now it was their former corporate
employers who did them dirty.

Maybe not but emotions are seldom driven by fact


And neither are your posts on this issue and many others. Everyone
knws
a bunch of people and has an anecdote about this, that, or the other,
but you cannot quantify in any scientific way the number of "American"
workers who lost their jobs because of corporate flight and instead of
blaming the corporations blame the workers who got their jobs.

If your friends and in-laws are still blaming Mexicans for loss of
their
jobs, they're in a time warp

Trump is polling at 25%
There must be a lot of people in the same time warp.



Oh, *now* Trump's lead in the GOP polling means something to you? Funny,
it didn't seem to mean much to you last week.

Much as I would like to see Trump win the GOP nomination and thus help
bury that party, I don't see it happening. Maybe he's going to mount a
third party Independent run. Who knows.

But what Trump's presence is doing is creating massive problems, perhaps
short term, perhaps long term, for the GOP, and its 2016 presidential
aspirations. So, I say, bon chance, Donald.

Trump is showing well in the GOP polls right now because he can
articulate his racist, anti-ethnic remarks better than the other GOP
candidates who, in reality, are probably more anti-ethnic and racist
than he is. He's also an obnoxious, low-information, loudmouthed
demigogue, and Republicans go for that, too...c.f., Sarah Palin, and
several of the other current GOP presidential nomination wannabe's.

I'd just bet that Trump is the favorite of several of our right-wing
posters here in .wrecked.boats. They won't admit it, but...they love
him.




The scariest thing about imagining Trump as POTUS is he would have the
keys to the "football".



There are at least a dozen GOP wannabe's in the nominating race to whom
that comment could easily apply.



"Damn! I can't find my keys", Hillary replied as she searched the
bottom of her pocketbook.

Before Tennessee, the jobs were going to Mexico and a lot of the
manufacturing is still there. That is where the Delco Radio operation
went when my mother in law, 2 sisters in law and several of their
friends lost their jobs. The last time I was in Kokomo, that was a big
empty building.
Ask those people what they think of Mexicans.


Once again, it isn't the Mexicans who screwed over these workers...it is
their former employers. The anger should be directed at the companies
who moved the jobs offshore for greed while in search of cheap labor and
weak environmental and safety standards. While there will be some
workers who may blame the Mexican workers, Chinese workers, Vietnamese
workers, et cetera, most know by now it was their former corporate
employers who did them dirty.

Maybe not but emotions are seldom driven by fact


And neither are your posts on this issue and many others. Everyone knws a
bunch of people and has an anecdote about this, that, or the other, but
you cannot quantify in any scientific way the number of "American"
workers who lost their jobs because of corporate flight and instead of
blaming the corporations blame the workers who got their jobs.

If your friends and in-laws are still blaming Mexicans for loss of their
jobs, they're in a time warp.


And why did those companies move the jobs? Maybe because they could not
afford to pay an uneducated laborer $135k with benefits to put lug nuts on
a car on an assembly line.



You're just jealous because those "uneducated laborer" types earned more
per annum from salary and OT than you ever did, right, Bilious?


Nope. I made more than the UAW types. Plus I did not have an extreme
boring job. I enjoyed being an engineer. Never had to declare Bankruptcy.

The legals do not want the jobs we need the illegals do. They make more
money and benefits from the government than they would earn working.

The legals do not want the jobs we need the illegals do. They make more
money and benefits from the government than they would earn working.

Landscaping is landscaping...whether legal or not. I don't know how bad the welfare
program is with the 'legal' immigrants. My impression of Mexicans is that they bust
their ass. I'm sure there are some bad ones out there, but they're not the ones that
get the bad press around here.


The rumor around here is that during ther 2008-10 problems the legals
who did not go back to Mexico discovered public assistance and now
that work is plentiful, they just got a fake ID, work their ass off
and still collect benefits with 2 SSNs.
At least that is what the ICE guys said on the last raid when they
were just confiscating fake IDs



Always amazes me that the bile and insults aimed towards hard-working
Mexicans typically doing jobs U.S. citizens won't do isn't also aimed at
the banksters and brokersters who tanked the U.S. economy and the
corporationists who sold our jobs offshore and are raking in record
profits because of cheap labor.


American used to do those jobs. What changed? More pay for not working?
