The Trump-Chamber spat is also unusual, as the Chamber “usually focuses its attention and resources down ballot”, said Tony Fratto, a partner at Hamilton Place Strategies. Those regions have been hurt more by the 5 million manufacturing jobs that have been lost in the United States over the last 15 years.
Donald Trump is taking his tough-on-trade message to a mostly rural area in ME where his message of economic populism could earn him one vote in the Electoral College.
Trump says the business organization shouldn’t be upset with him, because he supports free trade deals only if they are good ones.
One indication of how the politics of trade has been upended came Thursday, when Obama, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto – all members of center-left parties – countered Trump and forcefully defended the value of free trade during a joint press conference. But if Trump is right, then his party will need to explain to the country why it joined in Bill’s “rape”. Trump says that he will re-negotiate NAFTA and if other nations are unwilling to do so, he will exercise his authority to end the U.S.’s participation in NAFTA. “On average Governor Kasich defeated Clinton by 4 points in the 7 key swing states, Speaker Ryan tied her”.

“Under NAFTA specifically, California has seen a 290 percent increase in its exports to Mexico supporting 692,240 jobs in the state”, Sanders said. “The gold standard”, he said, stealing a page out of Bernie Sanders’s playbook.

Clinton underscored the point by tweeting a picture of a Trump shirt made in Bangladesh. Mark Warner of Virginia, a former businessman and tech entrepreneur, said that while the country needed to do a better job protecting workers, more resources should be put into training them for a new economy.
“Regional job losses have been fantastically poor, fantastically bad, and disgraceful”, he told about 200 people invitees to the shuttered Osram Sylvania Inc. plant in Manchester, according to the Union-Leader.
“I am going to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which has not yet been ratified,”he said”.
“What do you think about waterboarding?”he asked the crowd”.
“The challenge in responding to Trump is this, which is that the grievances that he identified in a lot of cases are very legitimate ones”, Edward Alden, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations said. Rick Santorum, also questioned the value of trade deals and tried to shift the GOP toward blue-collar voters. The chamber, a traditionally friendly group for mainstream GOP candidates, went after Trump hard on Tuesday over proposals the group said would cost jobs and hurt the economy.

“We will do things that are going to be so miraculous – and it’ll be fast”.
