MOST C-platform cars are already made overseas, bc margins on those cars, especially w/$2 gas, can't support US production.

Two days ago, Ford reiterated it was moving C-platform production to MX. http://fortune.com/2016/11/15/ford-move-mexico-trump/ … Again: small cars: Focuses and CMax.

Margins on Lincoln Navigators--what Louisville makes--are big though. Hell, I've even seen one sold in China for $100K (including taxes).

Plus, with Republicans having retained the Senate, they also happen to be a big export job in the Senate Majority Leader's state.

So now Trump declares he has SAVED jobs in Louisville that were never at risk. Just a long set-up bullshit savior comment. Pure bullshit.

So STORY here is 1) either Trump can't tell difference bt Ford Focus & Lincoln Navigator (possible) 2) he's lying and should be called on it

certainly wouldn't want to give the man any kudos. Doesn't fit your narrative!

You're arguing that Trump should get credit for a plant that was never moving to remain never moving? Sad!

you may be right about this one but I sense that he will get no credit from you regardless. You want him to fail for validation.

Actually, my interest is in American not failing. As serial fraudster & bankrupter, I have my doubts but hope to be proved wrong
