Donald Trump always gives an excellent news conference. He engages every question put to him without apologizing for his answer.

At some point in time people have to admit, Donald Trump is something. He is a successful person. He has always been involved in opinions about politics. This is a simple next step for him. I think everyone needs to get over it. He is an American businessman with enough worldly prowess to bring people to his point of view. "The Art of the Deal." He is a communicator.

Donald Trump is absolutely correct in stating "They are politicians. They can't get the job done."

The Republican Political Model is based in half-truths and proud of leading the public around by the ring in their nose. They don't care about the average, they only want to manipulate the electorate. People are working three to four to five jobs in a household to raise a family. That is NOT quality of life. The Republicans don't care about the person, they care about Wall Street and assign Americans to work for Wall Street, hence, the working poor and corporate welfare. 

Donald Trump is breaking the mold and people want relief from their poverty and financial oppression. They literally want America to be great again. The RNC doesn't know it's base, except, for the Evangelicals they lie to in making the USA bend their knee to their religion. The Republicans are the only party that will live for their votes.

Steve King never uses the word liar. Really? Maybe that is because he is one. He not only lied, he broke the law. He interfered with an election of a union.

The union let the dust settle and proved there was no additional assembly line planned at the plant and eventually the UAW was accepted into the assembly plant.

Nashville, Tenn. (AP) — Friday marks the end (click here) of the two-week period within which U.S. Sen. Bob Corker promised Volkswagen would announce another line at its factory in Tennessee if workers there rejected representation by the United Auto Workers union.
So far, there's little sign of any pending announcement.
Workers at the Chattanooga plant ended up voting 712-626 against the UAW, in an election the union claims was tainted by threats and intimidation from Republicans like Corker, Gov. Bill Haslam and state lawmakers.
The UAW last week filed a challenge with the National Labor Relations Board, seeking to have results voided and a new election to be held.
The appeal cited warnings from GOP lawmakers that a pro-union vote would endanger key state incentives to secure the new line at the plant, and Corker's statements that a vote against the union would be followed in short order an expansion announcement....

Volkswagen wanted the UAE to represent the workers. It is their company wide model regardless of the country they find their enterprise.

Nashville, TN (AP) - A majority of workers (click here)  at Volkswagen's assembly plant in Tennessee have signed cards favoring the union's representation in creating a German-style works council at the plant, a top United Auto Workers official said.

Gary Casteel, a Tennessee-based regional director for the UAW, told The Associated Press that the cards include a statement about wanting to join VW's Global Works Council and supporting cooperative and collaborative relations with the company. The cards are as legally binding as an election by the workers at the plant in Chattanooga, he said.

Union representation at Volkswagen would signal a sea change in labor relations among foreign automakers who have resisted unions at their plants in the South.

Foreign-based automakers have resisted the union because of what they consider added costs, burdensome work rules and added layers of bureaucracy. The UAW has tried to get away from that, portraying itself as an ally of the automakers as they try to boost productivity.

"With input from the employees they can increase their through-put, quality, efficiency, health and safety," Casteel said....
