Huff Post lol!! Michigan will now decide who wins , Freep has Hillary already won on the front page.

I would suggest that people in the rust belt feel their current jobs are not the same as the past manufacturing jobs. I still think this was a vote against someone more than for someone.

Trump up 66k in Michigan last I checked with 36% in.

Geezer- Do you support throwing Milton Friedman and Ronald Reagan into the dumpster when it comes to trade? That's what Trump wants

Absolutely not. Trump is mostly wrong on trade IMO. The reason he is wrong is that he thinks these manufacturing jobs are going to come back, and I think basically they are gone forever because they have been eliminated by automation and regulation. When an auto plant faces tight regulation and the threat of lawsuits all the time, there is good reason to want to get out of the country. Regulation costs the economy $1.9 Trillion ( on a GDP of about $ 17 Trillion). That is enormous. And the cost of "decisions not taken" is impossible to calculate. Ford, according to Trump, is building huge plants in Mexico, and he thinks that adding a 35% tariff to those cars coming into the US will make Ford move the plant and hence jobs back to the States. But that won't work because Ford left for a myriad of reasons (environmental and technical) that have little to do with stealing jobs by paying labor subsistence wages. JMO

There are jobs in the rust belt area, both Michigan and Ohio are under the national unemployment average.

Not for unskilled workers They blame Obama, Dems, and immigrants. They think that the jobs they lost to robots are going to come back when Trump is president.

It's literally down to Michigan. The year of HARBAUGH continues. I can't believe it's all on you fucks.

Don't blame me, I did double duty chauffering kids around so my wife could go vote.

In 1990, Blanchard was going to win but Wayne County stayed home and that clown Engler won in an upset. Maybe the same is happening here.

Hell, Hannibal is the poster child.
