Well, that'll cost him the prune-faced old biddy vote.
Oh, wait ... they're pretty much all Hillary supporters anyway ... nebbermind.

The liberal students at ORU have gathered 600 signatures to stop Trump from speaking there. Not quite enough.
Is this Trumps pick for VP down the road?
Then when it costs you $500-1000 more to get a new set of tires those same Americans will ***** and moan about the cost of living. Cheap imported goods result in a higher overall standard of living than one could afford only buying American made. Think also about how every damn one of us have an extremely sophisticated smart phone. If those were only made in America, only the Donald Trumps of the world could afford them. As it stands now, even the poorest amount us have them.
Don't get me wrong, if the American product is higher enough quality to justify the premium, I'm all for buying American. But increasingly imported goods are of reasonably high quality.
Do you think the countries we impose tariffs on are just not going to retaliate? Hell, just last year Canada and Mexico were going to impose a billion dollars worth of tariffs on US goods over Country of Origin labeling for meat. Not even a protectionist tariff. The cattle market was in free fall during December until the COOL repeal was passed in the omnibus.

A fat lot of good manufacturing will be when you get the market restricted to just the US. Also, nearly every country in the world is in a trade organization of one stripe or another. Why should we put ourselves at a disadvantage compared to the rest of the world?
One very real side benefit of free trade is peace. When two countries are economically tied together it makes armed conflict much less likely. The disagreements between countries take place through diplomacy rather than war. This is a tremendous benefit to us all.
Well, we shouldn't let Hillary get all of the stupid people vote.
Nobody, even Trump said we should be isolationists. I don't know where that came from? Protectionists the word your looking for? Edit: I just reread what you said about protectionism.
Fair and equal trade is what is needed. The US has a history from when this country was founded of generating protectionists tariffs.
Other countries have their own, but its the unfair tariffs that has caused the trade deficit that has cost Americans millions of jobs in the manufacturing sector.
What is responsible for the decline in U.S. wages? Trade is certainly one of the most significant causes, because it hurts workers in several ways. First, the steady growth in our trade deficits over the past two decades has eliminated millions of U.S. manufacturing jobs. As we showed in another recent EPI report, trade eliminated 2.4 million jobs in the U.S between 1979 and 1994 (Scott, Lee and Schmitt 1997). Growing trade deficits eliminate good jobs and reduce average wages in the economy. Since then, many more jobs have been lost to NAFTA and other sources of our trade problems, including China, and recently, Europe.
The second way in which trade depresses wages is through the growth in imports from low wage countries. If the prices of these products fall, it puts downward pressure on prices in the U.S. Domestic firms are forced to cut wages or otherwise reduce their own labor costs in response. A third way in which globalization depresses wages is through foreign direct investment. When U.S. firms move plants to low wage countries, as they have done at an increasing rate in recent years, it has a chilling affect on the labor market. The mere threat of plant closure is often sufficient to extract wage cuts from workers. This tactic has also been used with increasing frequency in the 1990s and is effective even when plants don’t move.

I'm not a big fan of Trump, but I'll vote for him or Cruz or whoever is on the GOP ballot. Anyone but Hitlery.
Is it Hitlery or Hildabeast? I get confused.

Cruz in the primary, if Trump wins the primary I will be the biggest Trump supporter you have ever seen.
Pro choice and pro ethanol subsidy? Yup, Trump sure is a Conservative lol.
Some folks are so desperate for a non-establishment conservative they accept someone who is neither.
Y'all are getting trolled.

I already stated I'm just looking for somebody not beholden to the PAC's, special interest groups, and the donor class that has been running this country for years.
I don't get into the abortion topic, but even though I don't like ethanol subsidies, there is not one single candidate out there that doesn't have some issues that somebody doesn't like.
