THEY TOLD HIM THAT. And he failed to listen.
What did he give GM.



Please be specific.



We know that Obama gave them 100s of millions. Did that bother you?

Obviously your knowledge is not key.

LOL Warren is a joke and we all know it.
How about a moderate, middle of the road democrat that is willing g to work with both sides? You know like JFK was, Bill Clinton was, a guy like James Webb.

Did I miss something? GM stated in their announcement the exact opposite. GM said cars were not selling well in North America. Trucks and SUVs were, but cars had such low margins that they were cheaper to make in Mexico and import than make in Canada or the US. In fact, GM had 1 or 2 weeks ago announced the closure of the Gunma Korea plant that was making cars.

Seems to me that the tariffs are not high enough and that if free trade was the issue, the Korea plant would still be open since Korea is a net exporter.

Seems to me also that it's worth a look whether their expiring car generations were being made in the US due to Obama's fuel economy standards - basically having a command economy.

Also, Bush was credited with providing GM and Chrysler with billions in short-term bridge loans to keep them afloat in 2008.
Bush saved them from a shutdown and bankruptcy. Those loans gave Obama a chance to fix them before the shutdown happened.

Stop pandering to unions and maybe they'd have a better financial foundation to deal with changing markets.

You want to help GM, stop blaming Trump and buy a Chevy Spark.

(I know, I wouldn't want one either).
I actually drive a GM vehicle and am very happy with it. "Blah, blah, blah is what Trump has been feeding you. Trump's economy sucks!

Japanese are concentrating on SUVs. Small cars only sell in Europe and India. Toyota Aygo is unsaleable outside Europe. Even in Japan small SUVs are now preferred over cars, same in China, Indonesia.

Unemployment rate is so low the folks that lose their jobs will quickly find jobs.

If you want to win send a message to your party leadership. No more lame horses.

Oh that is rich! You are blaming Trump's failures on Hillary! The problem with conservatives is they don't take responsibility. Here is a pearl of wisdom for ya: If Republicans want accountability (an elected office), they need to take responsibility.

Dollar stores are in need of help. They pay minimum wage just like most of the other jobs that are available.
