RE: The real reason Ford isn't moving to Mexico.
On Tuesday, Ford announced it will instead invest $700 million in its Flat Rock, Michigan, plant and add 700 direct new jobs.
All that matters.

The GOP smoke and mirrors machine is running at full throttle. 
They didn't need the extra capacity.
Shhhhhh don't ruin the fun. Let them believe that Trump did it with the wave of his hand.   
Left: angry, waiting tables...
Right: laughing, working their new Ford jobs.
I listened to the O'Reilly factor on this and was surprised that Bill and Karl Rove felt that this was a concerning development.
I think their reaction flies in the face of your comments.
I personally think it's a good thing Ford will build a plant here.

Maybe it's because I don't really like trump all that much but the fact Obama worshipers are now trying to paint the folks who do like trump as some kind of cult followers is damn funny.
One only has to look at this forum and the before and after the election.
Before the election, only two or three people in this forum admitted that they supported Trump.
After the election, people are pushing each other in line for the next spot in the circle jerk.

I didn't before, don't now, and won't in the future take any marching orders from an O'Reilly or Limbaugh and certainly not a washed-up, perpetually incorrect blow-hard like Rove. What ever gave you that notion?

#winning is driving the leftists absolutely nuts. How sweet it is. Wait until Jan 20 and after gets here. They will be in their safe spaces wearing their safety pins, sucking their pacifiers and hugging their blankie.

Not really.
Most of us are just laughing at the lunacy being put forward by the same arrogant jerks who claimed Hillary had it in the bag... and like it or not, Trump IS the President. For MOST of us on the right, we're just happy that its a Republican President (at least by name) and a Republican Congress affirming Scalia's replacement.
We could link to dozens of threads arrogantly talking about landslides and 20+ years of Democrat rule and how the GOP is 'dead' etc etc etc... and NOW we can link to dozens of threads making excuses and crying foul and whining like babies over getting caught being PRECISELY all of those horrible things that they always accused 'us' of being. We can point to dozens of threads where the left's lies/mischaracterizations of who Trump 'was' and whom his supporters were... and then all of the reports showing that this is precisely WHY he won... and rather than learn from that mistake, most of the left is doubling-down on it. NOW it wasn't Trump and the bigots, it was the Russians and stupid people.... because people out of work like being called stupid more than they like being called bigots.

I made no suggestion that you should feel the way you feel. I was simply pointing out that they seem to be the one's who are angry about this rather than liberals.
They expressed real concern about free trade and Trump's threats.

I've recently been told that wearing a safety pin on your clothes is a great way to discharge static electricity without shocking yourself.

Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for U.S. NO WAY! Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax.

Never mind that the CEO directly stated that the potential pro business climate that the new administration is proposing factored into this.
