Yeah, I have a big event and play on that I invited other people but if they didn't show up........



As we know, well, some of us, it isn't surprising because so many have lost their jobs in the steel industry, even CNN was willing to put it out there in this article: The crisis facing the U.S. steel industry (Opinion) - CNN.com More than 12,000 jobs have been lost in the steel industry in the last year and more will be lost if Clinton is elected. The business has went to China.



The facts are in the article above. Campaign workers, 20 employees from the steel mill and others were INVITED. Being INVITED is not the same as being there. People interested in keeping their jobs, unless they are illegal aliens or have overstayed their visas, are not getting behind someone that will watch as "Obama by proxy" our jobs continue to leave the country.



That's what my math tells me. I figure the 20 left were probably staying to wait for a ride, carpooling with someone that worked in another facility, wife or husband going to pick them up at the regular time.
I will point out, in case you are interested, that the Obama administration has been reacting to the fact that China (much like Japan in the 1960s and 70s, which I well remember, since my family was once involved in the business) was 'dumping' steel into the United States.


Here the Administration imposed a 500 percent tariff on Chinese steel, which the Chinese have objected to:
U.S. hikes duties on Chinese steel to more than 500% - May. 18, 2016


The European Union has followed suit:


EU Imposes Fresh Anti-Dumping Tariffs on Chinese Steel - WSJ


Now, it must be noted, that China was not literally 'dumping steel'. In other words, they were not simply bringing over shiploads of steel and 'dumping' it onto a beach for people to find and use.


No, American Businesses were purchasing the cheap China steel, and requesting that it be shipped over here. No doubt, these American Businesses found that purchasing the Chinese Steel was Good For Business and Profits, and if some American Workers lost their jobs? Well, how sad. As said American Businesses would readily explain, their First and Foremost Duty is to Increase Profit for the Shareholders of said American Business.

Probably true but it has drove people to Stein and Johnson.

You wonder how many shows up just to hear her, but dont support her either..

I'd go see her if she came to my office, but that doesnt mean I'd be voting for her.. I'd just stand around so I can tell my kids I was in the room with the newly elected POS president at one point and listened to her babble..

Liberals- rich, Obama or Hillary tweets and you guys swallow it up. Anyone else, must be a lie.

The two biggest liars tweet and liberals believe every word.

This was staged. She lies and has no credibility. And this isn't about the OP or Trump supporters, it stands on it own. People dislike HilliBilli so much and it shocks anyone?

So such traitorous businesses should be fined enough to really H-U-R-T!
And American consumers should tell those businesses to go ykw, and refuse to buy anything made with Chinese steel!

Note to Hillary: Cardboard cutouts would be cheaper and can be shipped and reused again and again.
