Woody - "two terrible candidates" isn't why Pres Trump won - it was time for the political pendulum to swing back.
Pres Trump came to the forefront because of that. It isn't that he is loved and admired and people think he's pretty.
He isn't.
What he is, is a man I didn't like earlier, who honestly said the things a lot of people believed about our government.
Activist judges on the supreme court, all over the place. America first. Our Constitution. and he's kept so many promises already.
Biden had eight years of being a no leader. he's a TERRIBLE candidate. Higgardly was completely corrupt and vicious - a TERRIBLE candidate.
ObaMao was a terrific candidate - until it was clear he reversed who he was after getting elected - going way far left.
Take George Washington - a terrific candidate - but most of his life he was not a man I would have admired at all. But there came a time later in his life, when he accrued great wisdom and strength - like Pres Trump. Not my cup of tea, I called him a circus barker earlier on.
Pres Trump is a badly needed candidate. Ben Franklin was an ornery but brilliant cad in his early years. But later in life, he became a great man, as did George Washington.
Pres Trump is not a great man - he's being a great president. Keeping his promises we need him to keep is part of the great job he has done. For all of his faults, he IS a leader.
Pres Trump is hardly a terrible candidate, Woody. He won the first election. Biden won't win this one.

I'm not sure that NAFTA will be a hot-button issue any more. I don't know if it's possible to bring back low income manufacturing jobs to the US anyway. At least free trade agreements to benefit the consumer even though it certainly doesn't make it easier to build things here.

I understand that. Don't forget though but most of akron's Tire building facilities actually went to right to work states and not necessarily to China or Mexico. Plus I wonder how much the regulations have to do with the difference in cost to build something here or below the southern border? As opposed to actual hourly pay?

part of what happened is unions with too much power, too much desire to go overboard, just because they could.
In the early years of unions - it was an absolute desperate necessity. Fair, decent wages to live on, safe working conditions, fair labor practices... coal miners worked and died in dangerous conditions for pennies a day? Long hours, fired if the worker got sick for a while? etc etc.
But in later years, unions workers had really nice wages. And very safe working conditions, treated well, job security.
But the unions kept getting more powerful, with more workers and more money from the required dues. In the later years, some unions were hell bent to demand raises for all that weren't fair, job security where a member could not be fired for anything... threats of a strike simply because they had pushed into arrogant and extreme greed levels. And some companies folded. Some moved plants away from the U.S.
Sure the companies that were crap hated the unions. Tennessee Ernie Ford even did the old famous song, "Sixteen Tons", about the pitiful existence working for the coal mines.
In the early days, I used to go on strike shifts with my Dad. Donuts, hamburgers, a bunch of really great guys with tremendous honor about themselves insisting a detrimental unfair change to their contract, not negotiating in good faith at all.
In later years, younger union members, and union leaders - would threaten a strike about the time a lot of them wanted to go on vacation without using their vacation time later. "haha". The big union leaders sometimes became very famous. and corrupt with power and wealth. And even when things were going awesome for the workers - leaving no legit demands unfulfilled ....
unions kept coming up with hostile demands every so often. They had to justify their existence. Eventually, that started crashing plants' cost-effectiveness.
I saw this happen over the years. In the later years of my career, I subcontracted for the company my Dad retired from.
My supervisor had been a staunch union guy for many years, until he saw the greed and the damage done. He told me a lot about it - admitted the union became a monster that destroyed the profit margins that started it's downfall.

Rubber was already gone when Joe Biden gave his vote to end most of the rest of manufacturing in this country. We gave away national security so some CEOs could get out of paying fringe benefits and salary. Too bad we didn’t bring back some medical equipment manufacturing..... especially after the biological attacks(anthrax) shortly after 9/11. Remember Joe and company’s idea to keep us safe? Duct tape and plastic. Too bad we didn’t have a proper response plan then. Nor do we now. Thanks past elected leadership.

For anyone who is considering voting against Trump and for the Democratic candidate do you think the Dems will actually scuttle the Biden nomination? Do you think it's wise? If I was a DNC advisor I might give that a 60/40 shot for success. A new candidate out of the blue would not have years of baggage and or the hint of dementia. Kind of like Obama.

Yes, I did. Yes they did. Yes, they were. We're a lot more aligned than you might expect on Unions thru history.
But you tend to talk like we are still is "back in the day."... and we are not.
The Corporate America you appear to want to save from unions is far more dangerous to the individual than any union will ever be. If Corporations are people (and they are not), then by and large they are soulless folk.

True, but some corps are not soulless, they are just trying to stay in business. Greedy? some are. But some of the bigger unions are destructively corrupt. I'm not defending bad corps.
I'm talking about bad, powerful corrupt unions. Unions drove prices up, corps did not. Unions became far too powerful, the union brass got RICH, and eventually, the unions were not needed - they had terrific wages, safe working conditions, justified job security, etc etc.
But the union brass didn't want to be not needed anymore - they picked battles that were not necessary, etc, and eventually went way leftwing socialist progressive democrat politically to continue to have a giant fight, albeit a fake one, to continue to focus members on a "struggle", instead of having members say - "well, why do we need a union anymore? why are we always paying union dues, and they back every democrat candidate no matter how corrupt etc" ???
I'm not talking about good unions - this is not about firefighters, etc.

The AFL–CIO engages in substantial political spending and activism, typically in support of Democrats and liberal or progressive policies. The AFL–CIO was formed in 1955 when the AFL and the CIO merged after a long estrangement. Membership in the union peaked in 1979, when the AFL–CIO had nearly twenty million members.
