kyle Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2015/10/26/ford-canceling-mexican-plans-despite-trump/74617558/ Pay attention to the #1 critic of Ford Motor Company and the leading candidate of the Republican party. This guy is a very loose cannon and while i like some of what he says, I am also aware of the loyal followers he has. He really needs to go away in my opinion-and I am a registered Republican. I've really never seen anyone like this before where he thinks he can bully companies, people, etc. to just bow before him. I hope he does not ask for a protest of Ford Motor Company but I honestly would not put it beyond him. I hate talking politics on an automotive forum but this guy is attempting to impose his will on a OEM manufacturer that contributes billions of dollars to the national economy, pays its fair share of taxes and employees close to 100K US citizens in the United States.

twintornados Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The only entity that gets credit for Ford's medium truck lines triumphant return to US soil (other than Ford itself) is the UAW....this was negotiated back in 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Donald Trump has realized that you don't have to be correct, you just have to be loud. And that's the biggest problem in all of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) I don't expect you're old enough to remember the first go 'round with this excrescence, but plainly, the man needed the internet to find his true voice. Back in the days of network journalism and newsweeklies, with cigarette smoking indoors crusty owly gatekeepers working long hours and eventually dying at their desks, Trump was pretty much restricted to Entertainment Tonight, and syndicated talk shows.

Pioneer Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thankfully, that will not come to pass...he will not get the GOP nod.... Then he'll run as an independent. And I'll vote for him too.

silvrsvt Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thankfully, that will not come to pass...he will not get the GOP nod.... I think the GOP is finally coming around to that if they want to be in office next term and not have Hillary in there, he is their best choice.

Bob Rosadini Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thankfully, that will not come to pass...he will not get the GOP nod.... Agree-hopefully the other candidates will get the idea of what reasonates well with frustrated Americans and key their campaigns accordingly. For sure we need someone with brains, balls and a sense of what made this country great. Need I say, someone who also learned some values every night at the dinner table. We know for sure what NOT having that daily experience gets us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Then he'll run as an independent. And I'll vote for him too. The career politicians have proven they can't get anything done. And he will split the Republican party in two and the next president will be another Democrat.. I think the GOP is finally coming around to that if they want to be in office next term and not have Hillary in there, he is their best choice. I am still not convinced that HRC will be the nominee.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 And he will split the Republican party in two and the next president will be another Democrat.. So be it then. I won't vote Democrat if Hillary is their nominee, and I won't vote for a career politician on the Republican side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'm also sick of career politicians who only seem to care about their party winning or the other party losing instead of just doing what's right for the country. They just keep spending and spending - the only difference is what they want to spend our money on. Is anyone other than Rand Paul calling for a balanced budget?

bdegrand Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Attn: Donald Trump supporters. I just talked to Trump's Campaign office about his negative Ford comments and they suggested we should send Emails (INFO@DONALDTRUMP.COM) or call them (646-736-1779)....to voice your concerns. They promised they would make him aware of our concerns. Please make the effort if you don't want another Clinton as president! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazerdude20 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It's kind of funny that there's a strong possibility that both parties nominate "extreme" candidates in Trump and Sanders. For better or worse there would be some changing with either one. I'm not totally sure Trump is as big of a jackass as he portrays. I think he knows what gets him attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twintornados Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So be it then. I won't vote Democrat if Hillary is their nominee, and I won't vote for a career politician on the Republican side.

akirby Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Sorry, if you want Hillary. Seriously, if you want Trump....those numbers and emails are good. As a business man he understands the Ford needs those Mexico plants. He's just pandering to his audience and saying what they want to hear - he's not going to change that.
