What's truly funny is that all along the media have told us to be worried that Trump wouldn't concede and that his supporters would never accept the result if Hillary won....Trump wins and we are seeing that behavior from Hillary and her supporters. Hillary wouldn't publicly concede on election night (instead she privatedly called Donald and had Podesta send her supporters home) and her supporters won't accept the result (#NotMyPresident, protests and riots).

Trump's complaint, and shared by many others, has much more to do with Ford trying to move every single sedan sold in the USA to Mexican production plants than it has to do with building iPhones. Those aren't dirty, low-paying jobs we're talking about here.
I wasn't going to contribute anything to this thread, but dude... You are too freaking funny. Thank you for that. This is the first solid laugh I've had in a long time.
Apple Should love Trump - he wants to give them a tax break to 15% and lower the tax to bring money back in to 10%.
On top of that he wants to give incentives to companies that bring jobs back to America. Apple should go to Trump and get a plan to build new iPhone plants in the old Rust belt.

Holy broad brush batman! This type of comment is essentially why there was a ghost vote for Trump. They arent racist, selfish or bad at all. They just simply are sick and tired of being called all the things you just said. There is an entire world out there you apparently havent seen to believe this type of tripe. They either hang up on pollsters or lied to the pollster to give them the finger.
People shocked by this election need to do the exact same they claim the other side needs to do. Mix it up with the other side and talk. Quit being elitist.
(i was not a Trump supporter at all)
So it's okay to insult people if you are not a politician? My mom, grandma, and teachers all taught me that personal insults are not okay, under any circumstances, period.
As for walls, okay, walls by themselves are not racist. But Trump calling Mexicans rapists is. And he keeps implying most Muslims are either terrorists, or helping harbor terrorists.
Pfft. The laws are not the issue. We have a republican congress and a republican president. They could re-write whatever laws they want with the exception of the constitution.
The real issue here is, is it worth it? The only way I see it it being worth the effort to bring back manufacturing in the U.S. is to automate everything.
If you are a worker in a plant that builds Carrier HVAC systems, I got news for you. Your job is gone. The only thing that is in question is whether Carrier HVACs are built by a Mexican or a robot.

The Republicans control government now. And its not because they cheated. Its because democrats stayed home. Here is what mom, grandma and teachers should have taught you - decisions are made by people who show up.
All those retirees and country folk are going to be real upset when he guts Social Security, Medicare, and their precious SSDI.
No, I said it wasn't okay to use personal insults. Should I view your post implying I said otherwise as an "insult"?
And I'll be about the fourth person in this thread who's had to point out that Trump said some illegal immigrants from Mexico are rapists, etc. Is he wrong?
Politically correct much? If you are some fat slob sitting at home on your mom's couch, don't be so hurt when someone calls it like they see it.
The smartest Human that ever lived never finished High School - Einstein. Steve Jobs never finished College, these two men were "UNEDUCATED" . Sorry but people learn more in life then at any school. And I saw a great item on line today --
When all the non-racist, non-misogynist, non-homophobic, non-bigoted, everyday ordinary people get so sick of you calling them racist, misogynist, homophobes and bigots that they go out and vote against you candidate, do you L
a. Reevaluate your personal conduct and strategy of convincing people to share your politics?
or
b. Call them racist, misogunists, homophobes, and bigots and yell at them even more?
According to most of my timeline, you chose B. And that is exactly why your candidate lost.

Trump is a consummate con artist and is thus skilled at manipulating people but for his own selfish ends. The Democratic party needs a candidate with the skills of a con artist but used in the service of legitimate issues that benefit most people and the planet. In other words, a real leader. Hillary was not that person; Bernie was (not a con artist but with charisma and communication skills).
He never said that - the actual comment was taken out of context - he was talking about DRUG TRAFFICKERS in that quote - look at the whole thing - and no I didn't vote Trump I wrote in RAND PAUL .
I on the other hand will be laughing all the way to the bank. They need to do away with all these social programs. Including public education. My kids go to private school. Why do I have to pay for some nitwit's kids to go to school?
Bernie is an idealist with no grasp of economics.
Oh I see. If you are uneducated, you must be like Jobs and Einstein.
And you wonder why some of these people are sitting at home praying that their low skill manufacturing jobs come back from China.
Calexit.
So Californians can have fun defending themselves against any other global power interested in their natural resources...
And with quenching the thirst of the southern half of the state...
And with trying to sell their stale agriculture products back to the mainland when the mainland can grow its own crops in the south and supplant that with urban farming.
To all of the Californians pining for that future... well, good luck.
But if Californians can pull off Calexit, then they will be able to nominate HRC as their first president.

He's a private citizen. He's entitled to his own political beliefs, and to take whatever actions to support those beliefs that he so chooses. That's his prerogative—as an American citizen. Suggesting that he or anyone else (with the exception of federal employees) should "stay out of politics" spits in the face of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Man you really are out of your mind. All I was pointing out that EDUCATION does not mean INTELLIGENCE - and that HARD WORK is far more important then EDUCATION.
Do you know why those jobs went to China - because our government was more hostile to business then the FREAKING COMMUNIST. If that doesn't get you to understand the problem with over powerful government controlling everything from DC nothing will.
No, I'm sure there are some Mexican rapists, just as there are white rapists, Asian rapists, black rapists, rich rapists, poor rapists... you get the idea.
It's using "there are Mexican rapists" as an excuse for deporting illegal immigrants that I disagree with. Deport them, don't deport them, there are arguments for both sides. "Because some of them might be rapists/criminals" is stereotyping, and casting bad light on an entire group of people, and that, to me, is racism.
Here's a real story that impacted someone: My sister-in-law is a school teacher who spent a few years in a non-affluent, non-white, non-rural, and certainly heavy Democrat area. She's been a very liberal thinker and voter but what caused her to shift her political views was a comment from one her students that went like this... "when I grow up I want to be like my daddy; sit on the couch, watch TV, and drink beer". It shocker her and made her think that what we've been doing for decades not only doesn't work, it's destroying people's futures.
Californina will start out dead broke and will have no one in the rest of the USA to bail them out. A huge welfare state with no money behind it to steal won't work, go for it - I will be happy to never see the 55 electoral votes in the USA again and will look forward to never seeing anyone with ideas like Hillary in the White House.
Who's going to build it? No one in the rust belt is educated enough to build anything right now. They relied on trade barriers and "whiteness" to get by. In the long run those things don't work. You actually have to be educated and that requires constantly upgrading your perspectives and ways of doing things. Otherwise you get left behind and you have no one to blame but yourself.
