Donald Trump's Trade Wars Are Roiling Wisconsin GOP

By Cameron Joseph | August 14, 2018 6:00 am

PLATTEVILLE, WI — Steve North, the head of the Wisconsin Dairy Business Association, is enough of a dyed-in-the-wool Republican to spend his Monday morning at a campaign stop for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R). But when asked about how President Trump’s standing might effect his party this year, he immediately expressed concern over Trump’s ongoing trade wars.

“The reality is a change in our marketplace has been discomforting for sure, to say the least. There’s a lot of heartburn about where prices are at right now. So that will be something that we’ll have to work through as we come through fall,” North told TPM at a Walker campaign event at Digman Construction, a small company outside small-town Platteville in the state’s rural southwestern corner.

North’s group is nonpartisan, and has endorsed candidates from both parties in the past. He said he thought most Republican-leaning voters are willing to deal with some short-term economic pain to give Trump some time to figure things out, and doesn’t think it’s fair that others who voted for Trump are now unhappy with him doing what he promised to do.

“You don’t send a bull into a china shop and hope for a whole plate at the end,” North said.

Well North your economic well being is being undermined by a traitor, and as soon as you and others think in those terms, your full of shit and your die in the wool republican, you don't think or talk how the FDR plan helped you r industry, and just shows how much of hypocrite you really are, you think republicans saved your industry....................

And as for the asshole Walker, he rides a Harley, well, they are Union made, and he doesn't like unions, so he in essence he also is full of shit ........................to all of wisconsin voter's somewhere along the line, he approved the republican convention language praising Russia and the Ukraine and the lifting of those sanctions, he knew also he was enabling traitor...................he also should have called the FBI, and he didn't...........................

And then there is moment..............




So wisconsin you really have choice .....................party or country.....................we will see

forking over massive amounts of taxpayer dollars to lure a Chinese company to the state while, at the same time, Harley might have to start laying off and outsourcing production because of the tariffs. Throw in the dairy farmers and other Trump victims and I don't see any up side for the GOP.

by the financial interests and banks, some one in the state is going to have to pay for that Foxxcon crap, because he and them and the banks holding the bonds of the state, are selling out the public, he is giving over 5 billion in incentives, where is that money coming from.........the taxpayers, what are they getting in return, no money to and for schools, health care, ballot box security measures, no apprenticeship programs, to help reduce and maintain the skill and the unskilled worker ....................etc, but Foxxcon get roads going into a parking lot for some Chinese company, and water hooked up at a discount, but will be taking a water source to drive the cleaning of the parts, and discharging that water back into the system full of shit, electricity hook-ups at a discount, instead of demanding alternative sources to prevent pollution, like solar, they get free police and firefighting force, the list goes on and on, with each industry in the state jumping on the band wagon taxes of having a part of not paying for the infrastructure that this company and the banks could pay for, by selling bonds on the market place, Can the democracy survive globalization?..............................
