plants. One would think that UAW members owe their jobs to President Obama and the Democrats for the
bail out package back in 2009 that mostly all Republicans rejected.However walk into any GM plant today and you will see (perhaps on the men's room wall Trump 2020 written or on their vehicles in the parking lots Trump "seal our borders" or Trump/Pence 2020 so are they really grateful they have a job...because of Obama? Nope
For them its Trump all the way.
Closing these plants will hurt the economy (and not just Ohio) but a lot of these people will continue supporting Republicans.
Think of all the GM suppliers that will close...
