Cleveland and Cincinnati are well known for being horrible cities (not so much Cleveland these days but it has its ghetto areas)

Does WWC = White w/ No College Degree?

2018-08-03 18:28:36 UTC  

yeah

2018-08-03 18:29:26 UTC  

Idk if those two groups flow perfectly together, but it's still a pretty good indicator.

2018-08-03 18:30:31 UTC  

White Non College Educated Voters make up the White Working Class, the White Non College Educated Population in the Rust Belt is huge

2018-08-03 18:31:34 UTC  

Even with the Steel Tariffs, NAFTA deal soon and Tariffs on Chinese goods, Trump still has a negative approval rating with Whites in the Rust Belt

2018-08-03 18:32:02 UTC  

White College Educated Voters are a Huge Threat

2018-08-03 18:32:15 UTC  

The have been trending left

2018-08-03 18:33:17 UTC  

Yeah idk how I feel about approval ratings, because people may disagree with his Tweets, but like his economic policies, which the latter would matter more in a presidential election, and the former outside of election season.

2018-08-03 18:33:53 UTC  

I bet you a 100 dollars, if Trump only tweeted about important things, he would have a better approval rating

2018-08-03 18:34:05 UTC  

I have never liked the idea of a Twitter President

2018-08-03 18:34:35 UTC  

He just says to much stupid shit that takes up TV time instead of talking about NAFTA

2018-08-03 18:36:09 UTC  

Also, the Trump admin is really focusing on Auto in the NAFTA talks, which is great.

2018-08-03 18:37:29 UTC  

raising auto wages in Mexico could actually bring back jobs to America because the main reason most companies go to Mexico is due to lower wages.

That's a corny ass name for a car website. "The Drive" lmao

2018-08-03 18:37:45 UTC  

lol

2018-08-03 18:37:48 UTC  

well

2018-08-03 18:39:36 UTC  

I like the "Protectionist Threats for Free Trade Results" approach.

2018-08-03 18:39:49 UTC  

Yep

2018-08-03 18:39:57 UTC  

Simple yet so many people missed it when looking at the tariffs at face value.

2018-08-03 18:40:36 UTC  

Tariffs have a short term "hurting" effect but in the long term, it makes Trade more fair

2018-08-03 18:41:11 UTC  

Glad to see Trump is focusing on Trade so much but I wish he had a little more attention on Immigration

2018-08-03 18:41:33 UTC  

I haven't done extensive research on tariffs but I want to like them but have heard bad shit about them from not-retards

2018-08-03 18:42:12 UTC  

Tariffs are a good weapon to bring nations to the talking table

2018-08-03 18:42:39 UTC  

Trump has some good Trade people on his team

2018-08-03 18:43:23 UTC  

For sure

2018-08-03 18:44:08 UTC  

I also love dabbing on the Unions with Right-to-Work laws tho

2018-08-03 18:44:29 UTC  

So is this a good thing?

2018-08-03 18:44:45 UTC  

Will this win us voters in the Rust Belt

2018-08-03 18:46:29 UTC  

Right-to-Work? Nah it's a "anti-union" law that is up for referendum in Missouri on our primary date this Tuesday

2018-08-03 18:46:46 UTC  

I put "anti-union" in quotes because that's how the unions and Democrats are spinning it.

2018-08-03 18:55:31 UTC  

Tariffs are a necessary and primary tool of national defense, in a globalized economy

2018-08-03 18:55:43 UTC  

globalization does not conceive "competing markets", or at least not in practice

2018-08-03 18:55:45 UTC  

in theory it does

2018-08-03 18:56:04 UTC  

but globalized markets with no limits usually mean that sooner or later, someone will take over and become an hegemony

2018-08-03 18:56:08 UTC  

that's why tariffs are necessary

2018-08-03 18:56:19 UTC  

to protect the national working classes, national products, and interests too

2018-08-03 18:57:15 UTC  

otherwise, in a globalized filthy turbocapitalist economy, companies will close their facilities in "first world countries" to exploit cheaper semi-enslaved labor force in third world countries or emerging economies
