PB and J alludes in a Delphic way to the fact that in one column Nutting says that one million jobs were lost and in another Nutting says five million were lost. In one column Nutting says trade deals had no influence on loss of manufacturing jobs (the jobs were lost due to automation making workers redundant), In another column Nutting says that trade deals were bad and Hillary Clinton said so at the time and the Democrats have said so all along and so Trump's issue is WHAT THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE SAYING IF THEY CARED ABOUT THE WORKER.

PBJ noticed this set of contradictions but is "too lazy" to look for "contradictions" and assumes they don't exist because that would be "lame". ("I'm too lazy to bother looking for contradictions. And, I'm assuming there aren't any, because that would be quite lame for Nutting.") Possibly, PBJ, your mind was a little too quick for your Hillary blindness and you saw the contradiction - after all you pointed it out and I see it is there too, thanks to you - but now you've gone all fetal and are rolled up in a tight ball denying you saw anything because what you saw is that.............. Trump is right.

Trump is right. The Democrats in this election have deserted the workers and Trump is speaking for them. More - what he is saying is what Democrats used to say - what Hillary Clinton once said. And what they once said is still true - American workers have been harmed, their interests have not been considered in trade deals. But the Clintons have made millions from promoting globalization and so have most Democratic (and Republican) politicians. And so they have dropped the banner which Trump has picked up. And now things Hillary used to say, she says are insane departures from reality because he political opponent is saying them. She says the workers are a basket of deplorables for wanting jobs, not welfare. The blacks in the Great Lakes region went from 84% employment to 50% employment due to loss of manufacturing jobs due to trade deals and also automation. But what does Hillary want to do about jobs for black and white alike? She wants to increase government handouts. Yet Democratic city and state governments in the Great Lakes region, are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Whoever is elected, the problem will come to a head in the next four years. What will the Democrats do? Take a look at PBJ and his tight fetal roll after he glimpsed the truth. Only a man and a Republican will do anything but whine about discrimination. Only a man will try to be Mr. Fix-It. The gender cruising snowflakes and their elected representatives will just seek a Safe Space for their childish selves. They will damage like children driving a car. They will not fix what they broke; they will not acknowledge they broke it; they will not acknowledge it is broken. Only the electorate is broken and oh so deplorable.
