Paul Ryan’s Primary Opponent Releases ‘Motorcycle’ Ad: ‘This Bike Was Built in Wisconsin’
breitbart.com ^ | 5/5/16 | Patrick Howley

House Speaker Paul Ryan’s Wisconsin primary opponent Paul Nehlen is out with his first potential viral video ad of the 2016 election cycle.

Nehlen is a water filtration company executive in Wisconsin who calls himself a tea party sympathizer. He is challenging Ryan in the First Congressional District, prioritizing three key issues: government spending, mass immigration, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Nehlen can gain traction on those issues because of Ryan’s decisions since he’s been at the top of House leadership, responsible in part for crafting a national bipartisan agenda with the Democratic-controlled White House.

Nehlen’s candidacy thus far is reminiscent of the campaign of J.D. Winteregg in Ohio’s eighth district in 2014. Winteregg challenged then-House Speaker John Boehner from the tea party right. Though ultimately defeated, Winteregg compelled Boehner to noticeably campaign in his district for the first time in recent memory, at just the moment when House conservatives sought to push Boehner in the Right direction during the midterm elections.

Nehlen’s motorcycle ad is presented below:

Technically speaking, Harley-Davidson motorcycles sold in the United States are not actually made here, but assembled here. Harley contracts manufacturing of parts to plants located all over the world, including Germany, Italy, Taiwan, Japan, and Mexico.

To make something you usually need to assemble it even though the parts come from somewhere else.

Polaris bikes are assembled in America same as Harley.

I own a Harley but most of the Chrome parts are made in India. Just read the packaging.

I owned a Harley since I was 16, just sold mine 4 years ago...I’m 71 now...I have been to the Harley Plants...

Just saying a lot of people think they are built and put together here, not all true...like Paul Ryan tried to make people believe...

"Harley contracts manufacturing of parts to plants located all over the world, including Germany, Italy, Taiwan, Japan, and Mexico."

So when their suppliers moved overseas and there was no US made alternative, they should have gone out of business if they couldn't make every component themselves.

Gotcha.

I love my Harley. Don’t get me wrong. I wish they were 100% American made.

You can’t control all aspects of a build unless you manufacturer all parts in house. I understand outsourcing.

I wished they were to...they wouldn’t have made it at all if Reagan hadn’t done something when he did...grateful to him for that...

Maybe Trump can bring that and more jobs back here for all of us American workers...

GO.TRUMP.GO!!!

Me, too. Put a tariff on sources outside the US and the "out" part of the sourcing is all here, money and component rather than component here with the money going overseas.

Sold mine about 5 years ago. Got an offer for more than I paid for it and I’m too old for the pounding my rear took on longer rides.

“I love my Harley. Don’t get me wrong. I wish they were 100% American made.”

No vehicle built anywhere today is assembled exclusively with parts that are all made within the country where assembly takes place. I will lay you odds that while Takata may not be the only airbag maker, they other mfrs. are most likely not here in the US.

I have four harleys a 60 and a 61 panhead, a 68 shovelhead, and a 09 roadking. Proud to say that three out of the four were made entirely in this country.
