Trump's Closing Pitch In The Rust Belt: Your Factories Are Moving To Mexico, John Kasich Voted For NAFTA And Supports TPP.

Almost every time Donald Trump mentioned free trade or protecting American workers from low-paid foreign competition this weekend in Illinois and Ohio, he was interrupted by protesters.

-snip-

"Right here [in Cleveland]," Trump said Saturday. "We've got on the left, you have Ford, the Ford Foundry," Trump said. "And that's moving to Mexico. And on the right you have Eaton. And that's moving to Mexico."

"It is crazy, what we're doing to our country is crazy... I'm a conservative person, but I'm in theory not so conservative on trade," he said. "Any direction I can point to, you're losing jobs, you're losing your plants. We're not going to let it happen any more."

"But your governor, I don't know if you know this, this is a tremendous problem. Your governor when he was a congressman voted for NAFTA," he said about his main opponent in the Ohio primary: Gov. John Kasich. "He's now in favor of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It is a disaster. It is going to ruin your car industry, totally ruin it, and believe me, that deal is very bad for a lot of reasons."

People have to be brain-dead who cannot see how wrong these trade agreements are for most Americans.

Politicians like KASICH and the newly GOPe CRUZ should be ASHAMED of themselves for taking the BRIBES to become SHILLS for this CRAP to citizens who find it hard to believe they are that dishonest.

Cool story bro. After the stunts by the Geriatric Old Plotters following the leftist mob attacks at Trump rallies, I’m voting for no candidate except Trump.

People say Perot was crazy, and Bubba Clinton proudly proclaims his part in NAFTA, but damn, I hear "that giant sucking sound".

Ohio, once a manufacturing powerhouse, has been hit hard by NAFTA and China.

Trump wins in Ohio.

I'm a major proponent of Free Trade, but true free trade is totally non existent in todays world.

Free trade requires hard ball political leaders who demand and enforce a level playing field.

At this time World Trade situation is anything but a level playing field because the current political leaders of our country have sold out America to foreign trade interests of predatory exporters who perform dumping goods on the United States as official government trade policy.

The current example of a Saudi Arabia led OPEC openly and publicly admitting to manipulating the price oil to drive American Frackers out of business is just the latest in a ling series of betrayals by our Political Class in Washington.

I won't even go into the depth of betrayal in China because it's too depressing but will note that the worst damage was done by Bill and Hillary Clinton in the Clinton Presidency of the 1990s

Right, it was Trump’s fault Soros sent his goons to Chicago to shout Trump down, not allowing him to voice his opinion.

And who does Kasich blame? Not Soros, not Bill Ayers, but Trump!

Based on Trumps speech today....I really do think he ‘gets it,’ now can he really ‘fix it?”

Even if he does half of what he says....it is far better then anything Hillary or Sanders will do.
