Trump's anti-free trade rhetoric and protectionist policies, no matter how ineffective, have a very, very real appeal to a lot of people in the Rust Belt and should absolutely not be discounted. It's the entire reason the past two elections have literally been decided by a narrow swathe of a few hundred thousand votes stretching from Wisconsin to Pennsylvania.
Yeah, I grew up in the middle of all that and sort of still live in it and those jobs aren't coming back. Look at the Foxconn debacle. Shit, 40% of jobs at the big 3 plants in Detroit are filled with temp labor. Republicans aren't exactly pro union.
