The article is from August, Trump announced in June and people really think it was because Ford felt the heat from Trump? Just like that they changed their minds?

It was for CNN Money. And if you think Trump’s harassing Ford had no role you are not listening. I assure you all futures moves are going to be on hold until their buddy Hillary gets in. The sad part is that the gang who the unions are endorsing are mum. It takes a billionaire Republican to defend the workers.

So let me gets this straight. You are admitting this was announced in 2014 but you still insist Trump had something to do with this

You are one dishonest poster. Here's the link again, from the 2011 thread, the one you are conveniently ignoring

Well then prove your case. I gave you a link to a 2011 article about Ford planning to move. It should be simple for you to find a 2011 reference to Trump having influenced it.

Do you have YOUR candidate saying ANYTHING about Ford moving out of the country at ANY time to ANYWHERE? No, because they are all cowards.

That's not proof Trump had any influence on Ford's plans.

As right wingers say, this is capitalism, corporations should be choosing how to best run their businesses rather than the government.

That’s how I used to think but what is happening is the Dems have made it difficult for the corporations to set up shop here then leave the back door open for them to leave. It is not an accident. What is amazing is that the unions who are most affected are in on it. Why does it take a billionaire Republican to make it an issue? Now we have Kasich taking credit but in all the months that he has been running he never ever mentioned it. I guarantee you the union workers will notice who has stuck his neck out for them.
