Trump mistakenly seems to think that bringing back manufacturing here would help. I don't want to have to explain it all to you since it's probably a waste of time, but technological innovation and productivity have more to do with manufacturing loss than anything else. Those middle class jobs of the manufacturing sector are not coming back. Automation is the way the entire world is going, and that's something that you cannot turn the clock back on. Even China's manufacturing is down because those middle class jobs are being done by technology/automation/machines. The 1970's are over despite Trumps lies (or sheer naivete and/or ignorance) that state otherwise. The world is progressive whether anyone agrees with it or not.


On another note, perhaps you should ask yourself why Trump chooses to wear/sell/promote "make America great again" hat/pins/t-shirts/ties that are all made in CHINA rather than have them manufactured in an actual AMERICAN factory. Oh, the irony.

Shameful how ignorant Trump supporters are. My in-laws in Europe are totally stumped and think Americans that back this creep are a pretty dumb bunch...but it's irrelevant since he probably won't be welcome to step foot in some of these countries to "make his deals" anyway over the pure sh** that comes out of his mouth.

Ever seen any old news reels of speeches by Mussolini or Hitler? I always wondered what people were smoking back then to buy into any of that vitriol those two and others were spewing. Things haven't changed all that much.

What do you mean? I didn't say I supported him.

Some of your ramblings apply to all candidates, including Hillary. The biggest bull****ter wins.

10,000 years of "civilization" since we emerged from cave clans. And still jumping to the jungle drums and mumbo-jumbo of the witch doctors. The Crusades. The Inquisition. Mein Kampf. The Donald (Duck Dynasty) Reality Tee-vee Show!

Not only does Trump have support in Silicon Valley, from the map it also looks like he has support in Marin. Sonoma and the Emerald Triangle make more sense, but his Bay Area support is rather interesting.
Well, there's always some people who will support folks like Trump here, but that won't change the overall electoral prospects of California - the Golden State will overwhelmingly go for the Democratic candidate in likelihood in the general election.

Both parties just make stops here to shake some money from the many big donors who live in CA.

That kind of "too scared to fart?"
Yes not to mention Donald Trump referring to Paris as being in Germany.

He meant Paris Hilton. She's been to Germany. Thousands of people have seen it on video. The Donald doesn't make mistakes.

Hey, I would rather have a president that moved me to laughter rather than tears.

Mind you I am not a Trump supporter.
