    Trump can't or will not bring back your jobs if he is elected president!

    I believe he said he would try to make it less appealing for corporations to use oversea labor and therefore make it more profitable for them to hire Americans.

    He lies so often I doubt he would do any such thing.

    I kind of agree with this. What I'm hoping is, with deregulation and tax cuts maybe some of these young, delicate snowflakes here will take a chance and start the next generation of American businesses. That WILL bring jobs back!

    No POTUS has the power to do that unless he/she can single handedly impose import tariffs. Couple that with tax cuts for corps. who manufacture here, which I know needs Congressional approval.
    I found it cute in the last debate, when Hillary outed him for using Chinese steel. He said 'make it illegal for me to do it'.

    So unless there are laws in place, Trump has no real interest in the American worker.

    Save your time, and your breath.

    Due to....that's the way it USUALLY goes...."conservatives" know they'll never get busted....or, be held accountable....for making wild-ass predictions....that never happen.

    Most times they open their mouths, it's usually....."You know what's gonna HAPPEN, don't you??"....or, "I GUARANTEE YOU......".

    Ya' gotta know how to trap them......

    Not all that dissimilar to those on the left who say we need higher taxes but when told there's nothing stopping them from paying more the answer is the law should be changed so we all have to pay more. Ok, so should we play within the rules as they are currently written or as we would like them to be?

    Tax cuts never created one job. Demand is the only thing that creates jobs. If people can afford your product/service, you will need more employees. Deregulation is just stupid in many instances. If you want to pollute freely, as they do in China, you might bring some manufacturing back. But, like China, you won't be able to live in the areas where manufacturing takes place.

    On top of all of that, low overseas wages will always send jobs overseas unless we have very high import tariffs.

    When Obama did that on Chinese tires, everyone motherfucked him.

    why not?......permitting multi-national corporations to bring a hundred trillion dollars back to the US without paying taxes on it IF they create new US jobs is obviously going to generate some jobs.......

    So are you arguing for free trade now as well? If Trump turns a bunch of liberals into free traders at least he would have done one thing positive
